¹⁰“And now he has a son, a violent one, who sheds blood^u and does any of these things^v ¹¹(though^w he^x did not do all of these things), for the son also^y eats on the mountains and he defiles the wife of his neighbor. ¹²He oppresses the needy and the poor, and he commits robbery,^z and he does not return a pledge for a loan, and he lifts his eyes to the idols so he does a detestable thing. ¹³He charges interest^a and takes usury. Then, shall he live? He shall not live, for he did all of these detestable things. Surely he will die! His blood will be on him.

¹⁴“And look! He has a son, and he sees all of the sin of his father that he did, and he sees it, but he does not do it. ¹⁵On the mountains he does not eat, and he does not lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and the wife of his neighbor he does not defile. ¹⁶And he oppresses no one; he requires no pledge for a loan, and he does not commit robbery;^b he gives his bread to the hungry, and he covers the naked person with a garment. ¹⁷He brings back^c his hand from iniquity;^d he does not take interest and usury; he does my regulations; he goes^e in my statutes. He will not die because of the guilt of his father; he will surely live! ¹⁸Because his father oppressed severely;^f he stole from his brother;^g that which is not good he did in the midst of his people, and look! He will die through^h his guilt.
