8 no cederás ni le escucharás; y tu ojo no tendrá piedad de él, tampoco lo perdonarás ni lo encubrirás,

Deuteronomio 13:8 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 13:8

Thou shall not consent unto him
To commit the idolatry enticed unto, or join with him in it:

nor hearken to him;
not so much as patiently to hear him, but at once express an abhorrence of and indignation at what he recommends:

neither shall thine eye pity him;
pitied he might be for his ignorance, stupidity, and wickedness, and on account of the miserable estate and condition he was in, and of those dreadful consequences which would follow upon it, if not converted from it; but no mercy was to be shown him on account of nearness of relation:

neither shall thou spare;
to reprove him sharply and to expose him to public vengeance:

neither shall thou conceal him;
neither him nor his sin, but make both public, acquaint others with it, and endeavour to bring him before the civil magistrate to be examined, tried, and judged; so far should they be from hiding his offence from others, or excusing and extenuating it, or from harbouring his person privately when sought for upon information.

Deuteronomio 13:8 In-Context

6 Si tu hermano, el hijo de tu madre, o tu hijo, o tu hija, o la mujer que amas, o tu amigo entrañable, te incita en secreto, diciendo: "Vamos y sirvamos a otros dioses" (a quienes ni tú ni tus padres habéis conocido,

7 de los dioses de los pueblos que te rodean, cerca o lejos de ti, de un término de la tierra al otro),

8 no cederás ni le escucharás; y tu ojo no tendrá piedad de él, tampoco lo perdonarás ni lo encubrirás,

9 sino que ciertamente lo matarás; tu mano será la primera contra él para matarlo, y después la mano de todo el pueblo.

10 Lo apedrearás hasta la muerte porque él trató de apartarte del SEÑOR tu Dios que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto, de la casa de servidumbre.
