Numbers 14:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷And now, therefore, let the power of the Lord be great in the way that you promised when you spoke, saying,

¹⁸‘The Lord is slow to anger,
and abounding in steadfast love,
forgiving iniquity and transgression,
but by no means clearing the guilty,
visiting the iniquity of the parents
upon the children
to the third and the fourth generation.’

¹⁹Forgive the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your steadfast love, just as you have pardoned this people, from Egypt even until now.”
