5 aYou shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am ba jealous God, cvisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,Jeremiah 16:12
12and because dyou have done worse than your fathers, for behold, eevery one of you follows his stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me.Jeremiah 31:29
29In those days they shall no longer say:f“‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
Ezekiel 18:2
2“What do you ▼▼The Hebrew for you is plural
mean hby repeating this proverb concerning the land of Israel, i‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’? Matthew 23:32-36
32 jFill up, then, the measure of your fathers. 33You serpents, kyou brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to lhell? 34 mTherefore nI send you oprophets and wise men and pscribes, qsome of whom you will kill and crucify, and rsome you will sflog in your synagogues and tpersecute from town to town, 35so that on you may come all uthe righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous vAbel to the blood of wZechariah the son of Barachiah, ▼▼Some manuscripts omit the son of Barachiah
whom you murdered between ythe sanctuary and zthe altar. 36Truly, I say to you, aaall these things will come upon this generation.
