Thematic Bible: Upon children
Thematic Bible
Punishment » Entailed » Upon children
keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the sons, and on the sons of sons, to the third and to the fourth generation.
Our fathers have sinned and are not; we have borne their iniquities.
In those days they shall not say any more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the sons are dull.
What is it to you that you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the teeth of the sons are dull? As I live, says the Lord Jehovah, to you there is no longer any occasion to use this proverb in Israel.
