'Offspring' in the Bible

The sinful nation is as good as dead, the people weighed down by evil deeds. They are offspring who do wrong, children who do wicked things. They have abandoned the Lord, and rejected the Holy One of Israel. They are alienated from him.

Their arrows will cut young men to ribbons; they have no compassion on a person's offspring, they will not look with pity on children.

You will not be buried with them, because you destroyed your land and killed your people. The offspring of the wicked will never be mentioned again.

"I will rise up against them," says the Lord who commands armies. "I will blot out all remembrance of Babylon and destroy all her people, including the offspring she produces," says the Lord.

His father's family will gain increasing prominence because of him, including the offspring and the offshoots. All the small containers, including the bowls and all the jars will hang from this peg.'

"You, my servant Israel, Jacob whom I have chosen, offspring of Abraham my friend,

For I will pour water on the parched ground and cause streams to flow on the dry land. I will pour my spirit on your offspring and my blessing on your children.

But approach, you sons of omen readers, you offspring of adulteresses and prostitutes!

At whom are you laughing? At whom are you opening your mouth and sticking out your tongue? You are the children of rebels, the offspring of liars,

Their descendants will be known among the nations, their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will recognize that the Lord has blessed them."
