'Punish' in the Bible

You must not worship or serve them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God. I punish the sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons for the sin of the fathers who reject me,

Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God, because the Lord will not leave anyone unpunished who misuses His name.

Then the elders of that city will take the man and punish him.
