^16 (A)“‘Cursed be anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

^3 (A)Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and ^(B)you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

^17 (A)“Whoever curses^[a] his father or his mother shall be put to death.

A Rebellious Son

¹⁸ “If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, ¹⁹ then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, ²⁰ and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ ^21 (A)Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. ^(B)So you shall purge the evil from your midst, ^(C)and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

^12 (A)“Honor your father and your mother, ^(B)that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

⁴ For God commanded, ^(A)‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ^(B)‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ ⁵ But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”^{[a] 6} he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have ^(C)made void the word^[b] of God.

⁷ Father and mother ^(A)are treated with contempt in you; the sojourner ^(B)suffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow ^(C)are wronged in you.

⁹ For ^(A)anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; ^(B)his blood is upon him.
