Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. Hateth his own soul - נפשו naphsho, his life, as the outraged law may at any time seize on and put him to death.
He heareth cursing - אלה alah, the execration or adjuration, (for all culprits were charged, as before God, to tell the truth), ולא יגד velo yagpid, but He will not tell It. He has no fear of God, nor reverence for an oath, because his heart is hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
