The phrase "generation to generation" refers to all generations of people who will live in the future. See how you translated the phrase "from generation to generation" in [Isaiah 13:20](../13/20.md). Alternate translation: "forever they will" or "they will always" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
