'Generation' in the Bible

A whole generation will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the sovereign Lord.

They will come and tell about his saving deeds; they will tell a future generation what he has accomplished.

Consider its defenses! Walk through its fortresses, so you can tell the next generation about it!

Even when I am old and gray, O God, do not abandon me, until I tell the next generation about your strength, and those coming after me about your power.

People will fear you as long as the sun and moon remain in the sky, for generation after generation.

we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the Lord's praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.

so that the next generation, children yet to be born, might know about them. They will grow up and tell their descendants about them.

Then they will not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that was not committed and faithful to God.

For forty years I was continually disgusted with that generation, and I said, 'These people desire to go astray; they do not obey my commands.'

May his descendants be cut off! May the memory of them be wiped out by the time the next generation arrives!

One generation will praise your deeds to another, and tell about your mighty acts!
