Exodus 34:6-7

New Living Translation

⁶The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out,

“Yahweh!^[a] The Lord!
    The God of compassion and mercy!
I am slow to anger
    and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
⁷I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations.^[b]
    I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin.
But I do not excuse the guilty.
    I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren;
the entire family is affected—
    even children in the third and fourth generations.”
