我之列祖、獲罪而亡、今我負其罪愆、

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; 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.

And you are even worse than your ancestors! You stubbornly follow your own evil desires and refuse to listen to me.

“ 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’?

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.’

Lord, we confess our wickedness and that of our ancestors, too. We all have sinned against you.

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.I tell you the truth, this judgment will fall on this very generation.

“ Where are your ancestors now? They and the prophets are long dead.

“ Sir,” they said,“ there are actually twelve of us. We, your servants, are all brothers, sons of a man living in the land of Canaan. Our youngest brother is back there with our father right now, and one of our brothers is no longer with us.”

This is what the Lord says:“ A cry is heard in Ramah— deep anguish and bitter weeping. Rachel weeps for her children, refusing to be comforted— for her children are gone.”

Why not just forgive my sin and take away my guilt? For soon I will lie down in the dust and die. When you look for me, I will be gone.”

You see me now, but not for long. You will look for me, but I will be gone.

Jacob exclaimed,“ You are robbing me of my children! Joseph is gone! Simeon is gone! And now you want to take Benjamin, too. Everything is going against me!”
