5 e You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am f a jealous God, g visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,
7 d Keep far from a false charge, and i do not kill the innocent and righteous, for j I will not acquit the wicked.
7 g keeping steadfast love for thousands, [2] h forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but i who will by no means clear the guilty, j visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.”
2 c The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
d the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
and e keeps wrath for his enemies.
3 f The Lord is slow to anger and g great in power,
and h the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.
i His way is in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
