"He will bring the punishment for the fathers' sin on their children"
This phrase does not mean that a child is necessarily punished for the sins of their parents. Many scholars believe that this passage indicates that a parent's sins will have consequences that will affect their children and grandchildren. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin)
