10 “If he fathers a son who is violent, (A)a shedder of blood, who does any of these things 11 (though he himself did none of these things), (B)who even eats upon the mountains, (C)defiles his neighbor's wife, 12 oppresses the poor and needy, (D)commits robbery, (E)does not restore the pledge, (F)lifts up his eyes to the idols, (G)commits abomination, 13 (H)lends at interest, and takes profit; shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; (I)his blood shall be upon himself.

International Standard Version
Standards of Unrighteous Behavior
10 “Now suppose that person produces a son who’s violent, a murderer, and practices any of these things, 11 even though the father[a] hasn’t done any of these things. The son who eats at mountain shrines, defiles his neighbor’s wife, 12 oppresses the afflicted and the poor, robs others, doesn’t return security for a debt, looks to idols, does detestable things, 13 loans with usury, and exacts interest; will he live? He certainly will not! He has done all these detestable practices. He will certainly die, and his guilt will be his own fault.”[b]
