Proverbs 29:24

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible · Matthew Henry (1662–1714) · Public Domain

See here what sin and ruin those involve themselves in who are drawn

away by the enticement of sinners. 1. They incur a great deal of guilt:

He does so that goes partner with such as rob and defraud, and casts in

his lot among them, ch. i. 11, &c. The receiver is as bad as the thief;

and, being drawn in to join with him in the commission of the sin, he

cannot escape joining with him in the concealment of it, though it be

with the most horrid perjuries and execrations. They hear cursing when

they are sworn to tell the whole truth, but they will not confess. 2.

They hasten to utter ruin: They even hate their own souls, for they

wilfully do that which will be the inevitable destruction of them. See

the absurdities sinners are guilty of; they love death, than which

nothing is more dreadful, and hate their own souls, than which nothing

is more dear.
