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.
