| Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love makes up for all offenses. | Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. |
| A fool is quick-tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted. | A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. |
|
| The godly are showered with blessings; the words of the wicked conceal violent intentions. | Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. |
| Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. | He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. |
| People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy. | He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. |
| No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. | No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. |
| The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all. | For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. |
| In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. | In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. |
