10 “If he fathers a son who is a robber who sheds blood, and who does any one of these things, 11 or who does not do any of those things,

but even has eaten at the mountain shrines,
    and defiled his neighbor’s wife,
12 has wronged the poor and needy,
    has taken by robbery,
has not restored the pledge,
    and has lifted up his eyes to the idols,
    has committed abomination,
13 has lent with interest,
    and has taken increase from the poor;

shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood will be on him.
