# thousands
"thousands of people." This refers to a great number of people. It may be that "generation" is implied. Alternate translation: "thousands of generations" or "the thousandth generation" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# he will by no means clear the guilty

Yahweh is speaking about himself. Alternate translation: "I will by no means clear the guilty" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person]])

# will by no means clear the guilty

"will certainly not clear the guilty" or "will certainly not say that the guilty are innocent" or "will certainly not free guilty people"

# He will bring the punishment for the fathers' sin on their children
