11 And does none of those duties,But has eaten on the mountainsOr 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 committed abomination;
13 If he has exacted usuryOr taken increase—Shall he then live?He shall not live!If he has done any of these abominations,He shall surely die;His blood shall be upon him.
14 “If, however, he begets a sonWho sees all the sins which his father has done,And considers but does not do likewise;
15 Who has not eaten on the mountains,Nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;
