24The accomplices of thieves are their own enemies;

they are put under oath and dare not testify.

24One who is a partner with a thief hates his own life;

He hears the oath but tells nothing.

24Whoever is partner with a thief hates his own life;

He hears the curse [when swearing an oath to testify], but discloses nothing [and commits perjury by omission].

24A partner to a thief hates his own soul;

he receives the oath but does not testify.

24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul;

He heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.

24He that is partner with a thiefe, hateth his owne soule: he heareth cursing, and declareth it not.

24Whoever is an accomplice of a thief is an enemy of his own soul.

He takes an oath, but dares not testify.

24To help a thief is to become your own enemy.

When you go to court, you won’t dare to say anything.

24If you help a robber,

you are bringing punishment on yourself.

If you tell the truth in court, or if you keep quiet,

you will receive your punishment.

24Whoever is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul, || He hears execration, and does not tell.
