Here two paths diverge: the father ascends to heaven through austerity, the son to power through force. It is significant that from one root come two opposite fruits: a devout father and a power-hungry son. Scripture thus shows that each one's freedom chooses its own path, unbound by inheritance; and next come the tyrant's abettors.
