Thematic Bible: Upon children
Thematic Bible
Punishment » Entailed » Upon children
Having mercy on thousands, overlooking evil and wrongdoing and sin; he will not let wrongdoers go free, but will send punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation.
Our fathers were sinners and are dead; and the weight of their evil-doing is on us.
In those days they will no longer say, The fathers have been tasting bitter grapes and the children's teeth are put on edge.
Why do you make use of this saying about the land of Israel, The fathers have been tasting bitter grapes and the children's teeth are on edge? By my life, says the Lord, you will no longer have this saying in Israel.
