“Anyone who says cruel things to his father or mother must be put to death.
“Honor your father and your mother so that you will live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is going to give you.
“If two men argue, and one hits the other with a rock or with his fist, the one who is hurt but not killed might have to stay in bed.
Those who curse their father or mother will be like a light going out in darkness.
“Some people curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
“If you make fun of your father and refuse to obey your mother, the birds of the valley will peck out your eyes, and the vultures will eat them.
If someone has a son who is stubborn, who turns against his father and mother and doesn’t obey them or listen when they correct him,
Then all the men in his town must throw stones at him until he dies. Get rid of the evil among you, because then all the people of Israel will hear about this and be afraid.
“Anyone will be cursed who dishonors his father or mother.” Then all the people will say, “Amen!”
