Starving Thief Will Face Sentencing
Proverbs 6:30-31

30 People do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.

31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.

NIV

PCDC Commentary

Sympathy for a starving thief is understandable,
but he must face sentencing all the same.
