ציטאַט אויף נחום 1:3

Adonoy passed before him, and proclaimed: “Adonoy, Adonoy, Almighty, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in kindness and truth.

He preserves kindness for thousands [of generations], bearing [forgiving] iniquity, transgression and sin. He clears [acquits the penitent] and he does not clear [acquit the impenitent], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and children’s children, [even] upon the third and fourth [generation].”
