“Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.”
YHWH continues that the iniquities of the community and their ancestors' iniquities together will be repaid into their laps, indicating that judgment encompasses generational sin accumulation. The inclusion of ancestors' sins suggests that the current community inherits both legacy and accountability. The comprehensive inclusion—their iniquities and their ancestors'—establishes sweeping judgment. This verse asserts that YHWH does not distinguish between generations in executing justice: all sin is accountable. The judgment is overwhelming in scope: all transgression converges for repayment.
