Proverbs 29:24 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Whoso is partner with a thief, by receiving a share of the stolen goods upon condition of his concealment of the theft, hateth his own soul; he carrieth himself towards it as if he hated it; he woundeth and destroyeth it. He heareth cursing; he heareth the voice of swearing, as is said, Leviticus 5:1; the oath given to him by a judge adjuring him and other suspected persons to give information concerning it; and betrayeth it not; which he is bound to do, both by virtue of his oath, and for the public good, which ought to be preferred before all private contracts or friendships.
