Exodus 34:7

keeping mercy (loving kindness) to thousands [in all future generations, forever],
forgiving (lifting up) iniquity and transgression and sin.
[The word mercy (Hebr. chesed) describes God's mercy and faithful love. The word appears in both verses 6 and 7. The first occurrence describes God's grace and mercy toward Israel when he renews the covenant and gives them the Torah for the second time. Verse 7 refers to grace for thousands. It refers to future generations and also to peoples other than Israel. A parallel can be found in God's promise to Abraham in Gen. 12:3, where God promises his blessing both to him and to future generations. The same idea is found in John 1:17. Grace and truth, Hebr. chesed ve emet, are inseparably linked. They are always presented in the same order (Gen. 24:27; Ps. 40:12; Prov 3:3; Prov 16:6; Isaiah 16:5). Grace without truth becomes meaningless, while truth without grace becomes merciless.]
At the same time, he does not let the guilty go unpunished,
but lets the punishment for the sins of the fathers befall their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."
[God does not punish children and grandchildren for something their fathers did, but rather describes God's just punishment for a particular sin in each generation. God reminds us that one generation cannot escape God's punishment because God punished a previous generation. God is just, and His nature is both mercy and truth, see verse 6.]
