The Theme in the Book of Job
Exodus 34 has been used as a proof text to facilitate this idea that God will judge kids for the sins of their fathers. The sense of, am I getting punished for something my dad did or his dad did is intuitive because we are facing the consequences. It's all about where God is in those moments. Is he punishing or is he saying, hey, I'm here in this consequence in the suffering that you're suffering? Suffering doesn't always equal divine punishment. And prosperity doesn't alwaysequal divine reward.
