It is said,‘ God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’ Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!

People say,‘ God stores up the punishment of evil people for their children.’ But let God punish the evil people themselves. Then they’ll learn a lesson from it.

You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.

“ The people will no longer quote this proverb:‘ The parents have eaten sour grapes, but their children’s mouths pucker at the taste.’

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

“ But suppose that sinful son, in turn, has a son who sees his father’s wickedness and decides against that kind of life.

May his children become fatherless, and his wife a widow.May his children wander as beggars and be driven from their ruined homes.May creditors seize his entire estate, and strangers take all he has earned.Let no one be kind to him; let no one pity his fatherless children.May all his offspring die. May his family name be blotted out in the next generation.May the Lord never forget the sins of his fathers; may his mother’s sins never be erased from the record.May the Lord always remember these sins, and may his name disappear from human memory.For he refused all kindness to others; he persecuted the poor and needy, and he hounded the brokenhearted to death.He loved to curse others; now you curse him. He never blessed others; now don’t you bless him.Cursing is as natural to him as his clothing, or the water he drinks, or the rich food he eats.Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing; may they be tied around him like a belt.”May those curses become the Lord’s punishment for my accusers who speak evil of me.But deal well with me, O Sovereign Lord, for the sake of your own reputation! Rescue me because you are so faithful and good.For I am poor and needy, and my heart is full of pain.I am fading like a shadow at dusk; I am brushed off like a locust.My knees are weak from fasting, and I am skin and bones.I am a joke to people everywhere; when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.Help me, O Lord my God! Save me because of your unfailing love.Let them see that this is your doing, that you yourself have done it, Lord.Then let them curse me if they like, but you will bless me! When they attack me, they will be disgraced! But I, your servant, will go right on rejoicing!May my accusers be clothed with disgrace; may their humiliation cover them like a cloak.But I will give repeated thanks to the Lord, praising him to everyone.For he stands beside the needy, ready to save them from those who condemn them.

Do to her as she has done to others. Double her penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed a cup of terror for others, so brew twice as much for her.

If you give up your lust for money and throw your precious gold into the river,

You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”

“ The Lord says,‘ Am I not storing up these things, sealing them away in my treasury?

And even though I am the anointed king, these two sons of Zeruiah— Joab and Abishai— are too strong for me to control. So may the Lord repay these evil men for their evil deeds.”

when I sharpen my flashing sword and begin to carry out justice, I will take revenge on my enemies and repay those who reject me.

Kill this man’s children! Let them die because of their father’s sins! They must not rise and conquer the earth, filling the world with their cities.”

For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.

“ Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.

May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them.

Then you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.”

But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

“ Why do you quote this proverb concerning the land of Israel:‘ The parents have eaten sour grapes, but their children’s mouths pucker at the taste’?

Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.

“‘ What?’ you ask.‘ Doesn’t the child pay for the parent’s sins?’ No! For if the child does what is just and right and keeps my decrees, that child will surely live.The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness.

Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm, but the Lord will judge him for what he has done.

“ But in saying that, you testify against yourselves that you are indeed the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.Go ahead and finish what your ancestors started.Snakes! Sons of vipers! How will you escape the judgment of hell?“ Therefore, I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers of religious law. But you will kill some by crucifixion, and you will flog others with whips in your synagogues, chasing them from city to city.As a result, you will be held responsible for the murder of all godly people of all time— from the murder of righteous Abel to the murder of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you killed in the Temple between the sanctuary and the altar.
