Verse 12 is found in chapter 10 of Proverbs. These proverbs focus attention on speech. The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, while violence may hide behind the words of the wicked. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers many offenses. Wisdom is also shown in knowing when to speak and when to remain silent: multiplying words without knowledge increases the risk of sin, while the lips of the discerning nourish others.

Haß erregt Hader; aber Liebe deckt zu alle Übertretungen.
El odio despierta rencillas: Mas la caridad cubrirá todas las faltas.
La haine excite des querelles, Mais l'amour couvre toutes les fautes.
L’odio muove contese; Ma la carità ricopre ogni misfatto
O ódio excita contendas, mas o amor cobre todos os pecados.
恨能挑啟爭端; 愛能遮掩一切過錯。
