INHERITED SIN

The punishment of sin does not always rest in him that committed the sin. The bitter fruits of sin are often transmitted, and handed over to those who had no present hand in them when they were committed. The whole family may inherit the sins of their progenitors, long after they have gone. When the father purchases or provides an inheritance for his child by flattery, or any other indirect way, the eyes of his children may fail for it.

(“He who speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children will fail” JOB 17:5)
