“Suppose a man is morally good, and his actions are righteous and honest. He does not take part in the heathen feasts on the mountains nor worship the false gods of the people of Israel. He does not commit adultery nor have sex with a woman during her period. He exploits and defrauds no one. He does not steal but generously feeds the hungry and clothes the needy. He does not lend at interest or take any profit. He refuses to do anything evil and gives honest judgment between one person and another. He keeps my laws and is honest in all that he does. A person like this is righteous, and he will certainly live. I, Lord YAHWEH, have decreed it. “But suppose he has a son who is prone to violence and bloodshed, doing what his father never did. He takes part in the heathen feasts on the mountains, commits adultery, exploits the poor and needy, robs, and defrauds others. He worships the false gods and engages in despicable practices and charges exorbitant interest for profit when lending money—such a person will by no means live. Because he committed all these appalling deeds, he will surely be put to death, and he alone will be responsible for his own death.
