Sahih International:

Allah does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wronged. And ever is Allah Hearing and Knowing. (An-Nisa [4] : 148)

1 Mufti Taqi Usmani

Allah does not like the evil words to be said openly except from anyone wronged. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
