³⁰ A thief isn’t despised
    if he steals to meet his needs^[a] when he is hungry,
³¹ but when he is discovered,
    he must restore seven-fold,
        forfeiting the entire value of his house.

²² Don’t rob the poor person because he is poor,
    and don’t crush the helpless in court,^[a]

²⁴ Whoever steals from his father or mother
    but claims, “It’s no sin,”
        is a companion to someone who demolishes.

²⁴ A thief’s accomplice hates himself;
    though testifying under oath,^[a] he reveals nothing.
