EZEKIEL 18:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s wife,”
The violent son does not walk in his father's statutes but eats on the mountains, defiling himself with idols, oppressing the poor and destitute, taking pledges, and committing robbery. The son's comprehensive rebellion mirrors the righteous father's comprehensive obedience, but in inverted form: where the father keeps God's statutes, the son violates them; where the father shows mercy, the son oppresses. The son's actions represent deliberate rejection of his father's righteous example.
