10. If he beget a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood, and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things], 11. And that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife, 12. Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, 13. Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.

Theological / Devotional

A robber. Verses 10-13 describe the case of a son who, instead of following the good example of his pious parent, adopts a course directly opposite, recklessly abandons virtue, and indulges in crime.
