Not restored the pledge,
Lifted his eyes to the idols,
Or acommitted abomination;
Robbed by violence,
Not restored the pledge,
Lifted his eyes to the idols,
Or acommitted abomination;
13 If he has exacted usury
Or taken increase—

He shall not live!
If he has done any of these abominations,
He shall surely die;
aHis blood shall be upon him.
Or taken increase—

Who sees all the sins which his father has done,
And considers but does not do likewise;
Who sees all the sins which his father has done,
And considers but does not do likewise;
15 aWho has not eaten1 on the mountains,
Nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;
Nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
Nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;
