A Rebellious Son
18“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, 19then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, 20and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ 21 gThen all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. hSo you shall purge the evil from your midst, iand all Israel shall hear, and fear.Proverbs 30:11-17
11 There are those ▼▼Hebrew There is a generation; also verses 12, 13, 14
who kcurse their fathersand do not bless their mothers.
12There are those who are lclean in their own eyes
but are not washed of their filth.
13There are those—how mlofty are their eyes,
how high their eyelids lift!
14There are those whose teeth are nswords,
whose ofangs are knives,
to pdevour the poor from off the earth,
the needy from among mankind.
15 The leech has two daughters:
Give and Give. ▼
▼Or “ Give, give,” they cry
rThree things are never satisfied;
sfour never say, “Enough”:
16 tSheol, uthe barren womb,
the land never satisfied with water,
and the fire that never says, “Enough.”
17 The eye that vmocks a father
and wscorns to obey a mother
will xbe picked out by ythe ravens of the valley
and eaten by the vultures.
Ezekiel 22:7
7Father and mother zare treated with contempt in you; the sojourner aasuffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow abare wronged in you.Matthew 15:4-6
4For God commanded, ac‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ad‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 5But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” ▼▼Or is an offering
6he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have afmade void the word ▼▼Some manuscripts law
of God.
