Keeping lovingkindness for thousands , forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin ; but he will by no means clear the guilty , visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon the grandchildren , to the third and fourth generations 7为千万人存留慈爱，赦免罪孽、过犯和罪；但?绝不以有罪的为无罪，必追讨他的罪孽，自父及子及孙，直到三四代。
“ you shall not make for yourself a graven image , or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above , or that is in the earth beneath , or that is in the water under the earth ; you shall not bow down to them or serve them ; for i the lord your god am a jealous god , visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me , but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments 第二条：你不可为自己雕刻塑像，或是其他的天上、地上、地下的任何形象；不可拜跪或侍奉他们；因为我，耶和华，你的神是忌邪的神，恨我的人我将追讨他们的罪，从父及子至三代四代，爱我而遵守我戒律的人，我将展示我的慈爱至千代。
This put my mother into a great passion : she told me , she knew it would be to no purpose to speak to my father upon any such subject ; that he knew too well what was my interest to give his consent to any thing so much for my hurt , and that she wondered how i could think of any such thing after such a discourse as i had had with my father , and such kind and tender expressions as she knew my father had us d to me ; and that in short , if i would ruine my self thd we think nothing of such a squal of wind as that ; but you re but a fresh water sailor , bob ; come let us make a bowl of punch and we ll forget all that , d ye see what charming weather tis now 她还说，父亲和我的谈话那样语重心长谆谆善诱，而我竟然还想离家远游，这实在使她难以理解。她说，总而言之，如果我执意自寻绝路，那谁也不会来帮助我。她要我相信，无论是母亲，还是父亲，都不会同意我出洋远航，所以我如果自取灭亡，与她也无关，免得我以后说，当时我父亲是不同意的，但我母亲却同意了。
