Proverbs 29:24
Whoso is
partner with a thief hateth his own soul:
he heareth
cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
This verse
is telling us that being friends with someone who steals can put you in a
difficult situation. You might hear his
plans to commit a crime and won’t speak up when there is an investigation. You bring on yourself torment and a moral
dilemma by being exposed to wicked and evil plans and then having to reconcile
betraying your friendship. The book of
Proverbs is primarily written to young people.
This particular warning is about the type of company one keeps. We should pray that our children do not hang
around thieves or find themselves privy to information too heavy for them to
process.
