He heareth cursing, &c.— The LXX and Vulgate read, He heareth him who adjureth him, but will not declare or impeach. The words may be rendered, He is adjured, and yet makes not discovery. See Leviticus 5:1. The sense is, that "He who will not discover a thief, when adjured or summoned upon oath to discover him, is as bad as the thief himself." See Grotius and Schultens.
