Commentary on Proverbs 29:24

Theological / Devotional

Hateth. The companion of a thief is in danger of being apprehended as an accessory in crime, and of losing his life. When solemnly adjured to reveal his guilty knowledge, further concealment makes him a perjurer (see Lev. 5:1; Judges 17:2).

Bewrayeth. Literally, “maketh known.” The word “bewray” formerly meant “to expose,” “to divulge,” “to betray.”
