'Thief' in the Bible
"If a thief is found while breaking into a house, and is struck down and dies, it is not a capital crime in that case,
but if the sun has risen on him, then it is a capital crime in that case. A thief shall certainly make restitution, but if he has nothing, he is to be sold for his theft.
"When a man gives his neighbor money or goods for safekeeping and it's stolen from the neighbor's house, the thief, if found, is to repay double.
If the thief is not found, the owner of the house is to appear before the judges to see whether or not the thief took his neighbor's property.
The murderer rises at dawn to kill the poor and needy; at night, he is like a thief.
When you see a thief, you befriend him, and you keep company with adulterers.
A thief isn't despised if he steals to meet his needs when he is hungry,
"As a thief is disgraced when he's caught, so the house of Israel is disgraced they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets,
Wasn't Israel an object of mocking for you? Wasn't he treated like a thief, so that whenever you spoke about him you shook your head in contempt?
"When I was healing Israel, Ephraim's sin was uncovered, along with Samaria's wickedness. While they craft lying schemes, the thief invades, and the gang of thieves plunders outside.
They swarm through the city, running upon its ramparts. Climbing atop the houses, they enter through windows like a thief."
"I am bringing this about," declares the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. "The curse will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who lies in my name. The curse will remain in his house until that house has been completely destroyed, right down to its timber and stones."
