Exodus 20:5
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 32:28-35
28Therefore, thus says the Lord: dBehold, I am giving this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it. 29The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city eshall come and set this city on fire and burn it, fwith the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal gand drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, hto provoke me to anger. 30For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my sight ifrom their youth. The children of Israel have done nothing but jprovoke me to anger kby the work of their hands, declares the Lord. 31This city has aroused my anger and wrath, from the day it was built to this day, lso that I will remove it from my sight 32because of all the evil of the children of Israel and the children of Judah that they did to provoke me to anger— mtheir kings and their officials, their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33 nThey have turned to me their back and not their face. And though I have taught them opersistently, they have not listened pto receive instruction. 34They set up qtheir abominations in the house that is called by my name, to defile it. 35They built the high places of Baal rin the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, sto offer up their sons and daughters to Molech, tthough I did not command them, nor did it enter into my mind, that they should do uthis abomination, vto cause Judah to sin.Jeremiah 32:39
39 wI will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, xfor their own good and the good of their children after them.
