“Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,

The time we spent traveling from Kadesh-barnea until we crossed over the Brook of Zered was thirty-eight years, until that entire generation of fighting men had perished from the camp, as the LORD had sworn to them.

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.

No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD, nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation.

No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.

The third generation of children born to them may enter the assembly of the LORD.

Then the generation to come—your sons who follow you and the foreigner who comes from a distant land—will see the plagues of the land and the sicknesses the LORD has inflicted on it.

His people have acted corruptly toward Him; the blemish on them is not that of His children, but of a perverse and crooked generation.

Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.

He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation—children of unfaithfulness.

Rather, let it be a witness between us and you and the generations to come, that we will worship the LORD in His presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and peace offerings.’ Then in the future, your descendants cannot say to ours, ‘You have no share in the LORD!’

Therefore we said, ‘If they ever say this to us or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the altar of the LORD that our fathers made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’

After that whole generation had also been gathered to their fathers, another generation rose up who did not know the LORD or the works that He had done for Israel.

…if only to teach warfare to the subsequent generations of Israel, especially to those who had not known it formerly:

Remember His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

These days should be remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews, nor should the memory of them fade from their descendants.

Please inquire of past generations and consider the discoveries of their fathers.

After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”

You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.

Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.

Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah

The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.

I will commemorate your name through all generations; therefore the nations will praise you forever and ever.

…consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.

Their graves are their eternal homes—their dwellings for endless generations—even though their lands were their namesakes.

…he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.

Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.

May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.

If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.

Is His loving devotion gone forever? Has His promise failed for all time?

We will not hide them from their children but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might and the wonders He has performed.

…that the coming generation would know them—even children yet to be born—to arise and tell their own children

Then they will not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose heart was not loyal, whose spirit was not faithful to God.

Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will thank You forever; from generation to generation we will declare Your praise.

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
