20 The parents will tell the leaders, “This son of ours is stubborn and never obeys. He spends all his time drinking and feasting.”
21 The men of the town will stone that son to death, because they must get rid of the evil he brought into the community. Everyone in Israel will be afraid when they hear how he was punished.
22 If a criminal is put to death, and you hang the dead body on a tree,
23 you must not let it hang there overnight. Bury it the same day, because the dead body of a criminal will bring God's curse on the land. The Lord your God is giving this land to you, so don't make it unclean by leaving the bodies of executed criminals on display.
