Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

der da bewahrt Gnade in tausend Glieder und vergibt Missetat, Übertretung und Sünde, und vor welchem niemand unschuldig ist; der die Missetat der Väter heimsucht auf Kinder und Kindeskinder bis ins dritte und vierte Glied.
Que guarda la misericordia en millares, que perdona la iniquidad, la rebelión, y el pecado, y que de ningún modo justificará al malvado; que visita la iniquidad de los padres sobre los hijos y sobre los hijos de los hijos, sobre los terceros, y sobre los cuartos.
qui conserve son amour jusqu'à mille générations, qui pardonne l'iniquité, la rébellion et le péché, mais qui ne tient point le coupable pour innocent, et qui punit l'iniquité des pères sur les enfants et sur les enfants des enfants jusqu'à la troisième et à la quatrième génération!
che osserva la benignità in mille generazioni; che perdona l’iniquità, il misfatto, e il peccato: il quale altresì non assolve punto il colpevole; anzi fa punizione della iniquità de’ padri sopra i figliuoli, e sopra i figliuoli de’ figliuoli, fino alla terza e alla quarta generazione.
Que guarda a beneficência em milhares; que perdoa a iniqüidade, e a transgressão e o pecado; que ao culpado não tem por inocente; que visita a iniqüidade dos pais sobre os filhos e sobre os filhos dos filhos até à terceira e quarta geração.
為千代的人存留慈愛, 赦免罪孽、過犯和罪惡, 萬不以有罪的為無罪, 必懲罰人的罪, 自父及子,直到三、四代。」
