Our ancestors sinned and are no more, and we bear their punishment.

Our people of long ago sinned. And they are now dead. We are being punished because of their sins.

Our fathers sinned, and are no more; and we bear their iniquities.

Our ancestors sinned, but they have died— and we are suffering the punishment they deserved!

Our ancestors sinned; they no longer exist, but we bear their punishment.

Our fathers sinned, and are gone; It is we who have been burdened with the punishment for their wrongdoings.

Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities.

Our fathers sinned, and are not; And we have borne their iniquities.

Our fathers sinned; they no longer exist, but we bear their punishment.

Our fathers have sinned,[ and are] not; and we have borne their iniquities.

Our fathers sinned, and are no more. We have borne their iniquities.

And you have acted even more wickedly than your ancestors! Each one of you has followed the stubborn inclinations of your own wicked heart and not obeyed me.

“ What do you mean by quoting this proverb concerning the land of Israel,“‘ The fathers eat sour grapes And the children’s teeth become numb?’

You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God, responding to the transgression of fathers by dealing with children to the third and fourth generations of those who reject me,

“ When that time comes, people will no longer say,‘ The parents have eaten sour grapes, but the children’s teeth have grown numb.’

LORD, we confess that we have been wicked. We confess that our ancestors have done wrong. We have indeed sinned against you.

Fill up then the measure of your ancestors!You snakes, you offspring of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?“ For this reason I am sending you prophets and wise men and experts in the law, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town,so that on you will come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.I tell you the truth, this generation will be held responsible for all these things!

“ As for your ancestors, where are they? And did the prophets live forever?

They replied,“ Your servants are from a family of twelve brothers. We are the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father at this time, and one is no longer alive.”

The LORD says,“ A sound is heard in Ramah, a sound of crying in bitter grief. It is the sound of Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because her children are gone.”

And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, and you will seek me diligently, but I will be gone.”

The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more; your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.

Their father Jacob said to them,“ You are making me childless! Joseph is gone. Simeon is gone. And now you want to take Benjamin! Everything is against me.”
