Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 29 of Proverbs. Uncontrolled anger produces strife, while pride ultimately humiliates the individual. Fearing people excessively can become a trap, in contrast with trusting in the Lord. The passage ends with the tension between the righteous and the unjust: their ways produce mutual rejection because they pursue opposing principles. The teaching does not present moral neutrality as the solution, but requires recognition of the differences between the two paths.

Wer mit Dieben teilhat, den Fluch aussprechen hört, und sagt's nicht an, der haßt sein Leben.
El aparcero del ladrón aborrece su vida; Oirá maldiciones, y no lo denunciará.
Quien comparte con el ladrón odia su propia vida: oye la maldición del juramento y no declara nada.
Celui qui partage avec un voleur est ennemi de son âme; Il entend la malédiction, et il ne déclare rien.
Chi partisce col ladro odia l’anima sua; Egli udirà l’esecrazione, e non però manifesterà il fatto
O que tem parte com o ladrão odeia a sua própria alma; ouve maldições, e não o denuncia.
與盜賊分贓的,是恨惡自己的性命; 他雖聽見發誓的聲音,也不告訴人。
