A stupid son, his, her, and him represent types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated a stupid son in [10:1](../10/01.md). Alternate translation: “Any stupid son … to that person’s father … to the person who bore that person”
