Rashi: Why should I be a Rasha who steals? His end is death! Refer to 28:8:2:2.
Orchos Tzadikim Sha'ar ha'Simchah DH ha'Shishis: One who believes in Hashem, and does not fulfill His commands, what a fool he is!

What is the meaning of "Yeshel Eloka Nafsho"?
Bava Kama 119a #1: Hashem will give serenity to the soul of the victim.
Bava Kama 119a #2: Hashem will cast off the thief's soul [Ibn Ezra - from his body]. Rashi - Yeshel is like "Shal Na'alecha" and "v'Nashal ha'Barzel."
Ibn Ezra: Some say that this is like Shalal (booty).
Malbim: Will he deceive Hashem, like he deceives others?!
