Do not start blaming who you love, or apportioning guilt, for it will all be apportioned in good time, and not by you.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker urges someone not to assign blame to the person they love. Guilt, they say, will be apportioned later by someone other than the listener. The advice asks for restraint now, while leaving that later judgment outside the listener's hands.
