"However, he may father a violent son who sheds blood, and does any one of these things to a brother

(though he himself did not do any of these things), that is, he even eats at the mountain shrines, and ^(C1)defiles his neighbor's wife,

oppresses the ^(C1)poor and needy, ^(C2)commits robbery, does not restore a pledge, but raises his eyes to the idols and ^(C3)commits abomination,

^(C1)lends money at interest and takes ^(F1)interest; will he live? He will not live! He has committed all these abominations, he shall certainly be put to death; his ^(C2)blood will be on himself.

"Now behold, he has fathered a son who saw all his father's sins which he committed, but he has ^(C1)seen them and does not do likewise.

"He does not eat at the mountain shrines or raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he has not defiled his neighbor's wife,

nor oppressed anyone, nor retained a pledge, nor committed robbery; instead, he ^(C1)gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing,

he keeps his hand from ^(F1)the poor, does not take any kind of interest on loans, but executes My ordinances, and walks in My statutes; ^(C1)he will not die for his father's guilt, he will certainly live.

"As for his father, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother, and did what was not good among his people, behold, he will die for his guilt.
