Proverbs 29:24

BSB

A partner to a thief hates his own soul; he receives the oath, but does not testify.

WEB

Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul. He takes an oath, but dares not testify.

KJV

Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

IRV

திருடனோடு பங்கிட்டுக்கொள்ளுகிறவன் தன்னுடைய ஆத்துமாவைப் பகைக்கிறான்; சாபத்தை அவன் கேட்டாலும் காரியத்தை வெளிப்படுத்தமாட்டான்.

Matthew Henry

Verse 24

Proverbs 29:24

See here what sin and ruin those involve themselves in who are drawn away by the enticement of sinners. 1. They incur a great deal of guilt: He does so that goes partner with such as rob and defraud, and casts in his lot among them, Pro 1:11, etc. The receiver is as bad as the thief; and, being drawn in to join with him in the commission of the sin, he cannot escape joining with him in the concealment of it, though it be with the most horrid perjuries and execrations. They hear cursing when they are sworn to tell the whole truth, but they will not confess. 2. They hasten to utter ruin: They even hate their own souls, for they wilfully do that which will be the inevitable destruction of them. See the absurdities sinners are guilty of; they love death, than which nothing is more dreadful, and hate their own souls, than which nothing is more dear.
