Exodus 34:5-7 KJV
"And the Lord
descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of
the Lord. And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord
God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in
goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving
iniquity and transgression
and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third
and to the fourth generation."
Exodus 34:6-7 MSG
"God descended
in the cloud and took up his position there beside him and called out the name,
God. God passed in front of him and called out, “God, God, a God of mercy and grace, endlessly patient—so much love, so deeply true—loyal
in love for a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, rebellion, and sin. Still, he doesn’t ignore
sin. He holds sons and grandsons responsible for a father’s sins to the third
and even fourth generation.”
