Exodus 34:7

forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. But he by no means leaves the guilty unpunished, responding to the transgression
of fathers by dealing with children and children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.”
Jeremiah 32:18

Daniel 9:4-9
9:4 I prayed to the
LORD my God, confessing in this way:
“O Lord, great and awesome God who is faithful to his covenant with those who love him and keep his commandments,
9:5 we have sinned! We have done what is wrong and wicked; we have rebelled by turning away from your commandments and standards.
9:6 We have not paid attention to your servants the prophets, who spoke by your authority to our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors, and to all the inhabitants of the land as well.
9:7 “You are righteous, O Lord, but we are humiliated this day – the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.
9:8 O LORD, we have been humiliated – our kings, our leaders, and our ancestors – because we have sinned against you.
9:9 Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.
Matthew 23:35-36
23:35 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.
23:36 I tell you the truth,
this generation will be held responsible for all these things!

11:28 In regard to the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but in regard to election they are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers.
11:29 For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.
