19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children:

He rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

19 “ ‘Well,’ you say, ‘at least God will punish their children!’

But I say he should punish the ones who sin,

so that they understand his judgment.

19 They say, ‘God lays up one’s iniquity for his children’;

Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.

But God should punish the wicked themselves so they will know it.

19 †God layeth up the punishment of his iniquity for his children; he rewardeth him, and he shall know it:

19 “⸤You say,⸥ ‘God saves a person’s punishment for his children.’ 

God should pay back that person 

so that he would know that it is a punishment. 

19 God reserves a person’s punishment for his children.

Let God repay the person himself, so that he may know it.

19 You say, ‘God stores up their iniquity for their children.’

Let it be paid back to them, so that they may know it.

But let him punish the man himself.

Then he’ll learn a lesson from it.

19 “You say, ‘God stores away a man’s iniquity for his sons.’

Let God repay him so that he may know it.
