24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
24 The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies; they are put under oath and dare not testify.
24 The partner of a thief hates his own life; he hears the curse, but discloses nothing.
24 Befriend an outlaw and become an enemy to yourself. When the victims cry out, you'll be included in their curses if you're a coward to their cause in court.
24 Whoever is a partner with a thief hates his own life; He swears to tell the truth, but reveals nothing.
24 If you assist a thief, you only hurt yourself. You are sworn to tell the truth, but you dare not testify.
