10 “If he begets a son who is a robber
Or (A)a shedder of blood,
Who does any of these things
11 And does none of those duties,
But has eaten [a]on the mountains
Or defiled his neighbor’s wife;
12 If he has oppressed the poor and needy,
Robbed by violence,
Not restored the pledge,
Lifted his eyes to the idols,
Or (B)committed abomination;
13 If he has exacted usury
Or taken increase—
Shall he then live?
He shall not live!
If he has done any of these abominations,
He shall surely die;
(C)His blood shall be upon him.
