New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
18 “Suppose a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father or mother, even though they discipline him.
18
If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him,
19 In such a case, the father and mother must take the son to the elders as they hold court at the town gate.
19
his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town.
20 The parents must say to the elders, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious and refuses to obey. He is a glutton and a drunkard.’
20
They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”
21 Then all the men of his town must stone him to death. In this way, you will purge this evil from among you, and all Israel will hear about it and be afraid.
21
Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.
