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,

Leviticus 26:39-40

39And those of you who are left shall ^drot away in your enemies’ lands because of their iniquity, and also because of the iniquities of their fathers they shall rot away like them.

40“But if ^ethey confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers in their treachery that they ^fcommitted against me, and also in walking contrary to me,

Psalms 106:6-48

6 ^gBoth we and ^hour fathers have sinned;
we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wondrous works;
they ⁱdid not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
but ^jrebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
8Yet he saved them ^kfor his name’s sake,
^lthat he might make known his mighty power.
9He ^mrebuked the Red Sea, and it ⁿbecame dry,
and he ^oled them through the deep as through a desert.
10So he ^psaved them from the hand of the foe
and ^qredeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11And ^rthe waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left.
12Then ^sthey believed his words;
they ^tsang his praise.
13 But they soon ^uforgot his works;
they did not wait for ^vhis counsel.
14But they had ^wa wanton craving in the wilderness,
and ^xput God to the test in the desert;
15he ^ygave them what they asked,
but sent ^za wasting disease among them.
16 When men in the camp ^aawere jealous of Moses
and Aaron, ^abthe holy one of the Lord,
17 ^acthe earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 ^adFire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They ^aemade a calf in Horeb
and worshiped a metal image.
20They ^afexchanged the glory of God ▼

▼Hebrew  exchanged their glory

for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They ^ahforgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in ^aithe land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23Therefore ^ajhe said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his ^akchosen one,
^alstood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they ^amdespised ^anthe pleasant land,
having ^aono faith in his promise.
25They ^apmurmured in their tents,
and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore he ^aqraised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
27and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
^arscattering them among the lands.
28 Then they ^asyoked themselves to the ^atBaal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to ^authe dead;
29they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
30Then ^avPhinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was stayed.
31And that was ^awcounted to him as righteousness
from generation to generation forever.
32 They ^axangered him at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account,
33for they ^aymade his spirit bitter, ▼

▼Or  they rebelled against God’s Spirit

and he ^baspoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not ^bbdestroy the peoples,
^bcas the Lord commanded them,
35but they ^bdmixed with the nations
and learned to do as they did.
36They served their idols,
which became ^bea snare to them.
37They ^bfsacrificed their sons
and their daughters to ^bgthe demons;
38they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was ^bhpolluted with blood.
39Thus they ^bibecame unclean by their acts,
and ^bjplayed the whore in their deeds.
40 Then ^bkthe anger of the Lord was kindled against ^blhis people,
and he abhorred his ^bmheritage;
41he ^bngave them into the hand of the nations,
so that those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies ^booppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their power.
43 ^bpMany times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their ^bqpurposes
and were ^brbrought low through their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
when he ^bsheard their cry.
45For their sake he ^btremembered his covenant,
and ^burelented according to ^bvthe abundance of his steadfast love.
46He caused them to be ^bwpitied
by all those who held them captive.
47 ^bxSave us, O Lord our God,
and ^bygather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
48 ^bzBlessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
^caAnd let all the people say, “Amen!”
^cbPraise the Lord!

Book Five

Matthew 23:31-32

31Thus you witness against yourselves that you are ^ccsons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 ^cdFill up, then, the measure of your fathers.

Luke 11:47-51

47 ^ceWoe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48 ^cfSo you are witnesses and you ^cgconsent to the deeds of ^chyour fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49Therefore also ^cithe Wisdom of God said, ^cj‘I will send them ^ckprophets and apostles, ^clsome of whom they will ^cmkill and persecute,’ 50so that ^cnthe blood of all the prophets, shed ^cofrom the foundation of the world, may be ^cpcharged against this generation, 51from the blood of ^cqAbel to the blood of ^crZechariah, who perished between ^csthe altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be ^ctrequired of this generation.
