6 And shewing [06213] mercy [02617] unto thousands [0505] of them that love [0157] me, and keep [08104] my commandments [04687].
6 Behold, it is written [03789] before [06440] me: I will not keep silence [02814], but will recompense [07999], even recompense [07999] into their bosom [02436],
7 Keeping [05341] mercy [02617] for thousands [0505], forgiving [05375] iniquity [05771] and transgression [06588] and sin [02403], and that will by no means [05352] clear [05352] the guilty; visiting [06485] the iniquity [05771] of the fathers [01] upon the children [01121], and upon the children's [01121] children, unto the third [08029] and to the fourth [07256] generation.
