The description of the wicked as befriending thieves and consenting to adultery establishes their fellowship with criminal and immoral behavior. The specific mention of thieves suggests association with those who take what does not belong to them; the wicked share in the violators' transgression. The reference to adultery suggests sexual immorality and the violation of family covenant. The mention of consent suggests active participation rather than passive contamination; the wicked deliberately choose association with wrongdoing. This verse identifies the specific transgressions into which the wicked have fallen: theft and sexual immorality.
