and they must say to the respected leaders of the city, “This son of ours is stubbornly rebellious and provocatively rebellious and he will not follow our instructions when we talk to him; he is on a downward slide of self-centeredness demonstrated by gluttony and not perceiving the value of things, and he’s always drunk.”
