Commentary on Proverbs 6:31
If caught, the thief must restore sevenfold and give all his house's substance. Though theft for hunger evokes sympathy, consequences remain - multiple restitution required. The Hebrew 'shalam' (restore/repay) and 'sheba' (seven/sevenfold) indicate comprehensive repayment. Even sympathetic sin requires restitution. This sets up v.32's point: adultery's consequences are far worse than even theft's severe penalties.
