¹⁸ ‘The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion.^(A) Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’^(B)

³³ Your children will be shepherds here for forty years,^(A) suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
