Proverbs 29:24 He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.

Soul, and exposeth himself to death, though this was only inflicted for stealing a man, Exodus 21:16. The night-thief might also be killed in the fact, Exodus 22:2. But if the person who had stolen denied it on oath, he was put to death for perjury, Leviticus 5:1.
