Deuteronomy 27:16

Parents and childrenThe law

14 Then the Levites shall proclaim in a loud voice to every Israelite:

15 ‘Cursed is the man who makes a carved idol or molten image—an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of a craftsman—and sets it up in secret.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or mother.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

17 ‘Cursed is he who moves his neighbor’s boundary stone.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

18 ‘Cursed is he who lets a blind man wander in the road.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
