9 and faithfully obeys my laws and teachings. This man is good, and I promise he will live.
10 But suppose this good man has an evil son who is violent and commits sins
11 his father never did. He eats meat at local shrines, has sex with someone else's wife,
12 cheats the poor, and robs people. He keeps what is given to him as security for a loan. He worships idols, does disgusting things,
13 and charges high interest when lending money. An evil man like that will certainly not live. He is the one who has done these horrible sins, so it's his own fault that he will be put to death.
14 But suppose this evil man has a son who sees his father do these things and refuses to act like him.
15 He doesn't eat meat at local shrines or worship Israel's idols, and he doesn't have sex with someone else's wife.
