    5If a man is righteous and does what is just and right,

    6he does not eat at the mountain shrines or look to the idols of Israel; he does not defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her impurity.

    7He does not oppress anyone, but restores a pledge for a loan; he does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and clothes the naked.

    8He does not lend at interest or take a profit; he withholds his hand from injustice and judges fairly between parties.

    9He walks in my statutes and faithfully keeps my rules—he is righteous; he will surely live, declares the Sovereign Lord.

    10Suppose he has a violent son who sheds blood or does any of these evil things,

    11even though the father did none of them: He eats at the mountain shrines, defiles his neighbor’s wife,

    12oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, does not restore a pledge, looks to idols, and does detestable things,

    13He lends at interest and takes a profit. Will such a person live? He will not! Because he has committed all these abominations, he will surely be put to death, and his blood will be on his own head.
