'Continue' in the Bible

“Depart! Unclean!” they cried of themselves.“Depart, depart, do not touch!”So they fled and wandered;Men among the nations said,“They shall not continue to dwell with us.”

The presence of the Lord has scattered them,He will not continue to regard them;They did not honor the priests,They did not favor the elders.

The [punishment] of your iniquity is completed, O daughter of Zion, your exile will not continue; [but] he will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom, he will reveal your sins.

Our ancestors sinned and no longer exist yet we continue to bear the consequences of their sin.
