5 You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them,*+ because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion,*+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons,* upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation,* in the case of those who hate me;+

7 preserving loving-kindness for thousands,+ pardoning error and transgression and sin,+ but by no means will he give exemption from punishment,+ bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons and upon grandsons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation.”*+

29 “Have you seen how Aʹhab has humbled himself on my account?+ For the reason that he has humbled himself because of me, I shall not bring the calamity in his own days.+ In the days of his son I shall bring the calamity upon his house.”+

35 that there may come upon YOU all the righteous blood spilled on earth,+ from the blood of righteous+ Abel+ to the blood of Zech·a·riʹah son of Bar·a·chiʹah, whom YOU murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.+
