`Deut. 5:9f`_ —these are not about different generations, but God is
offering to all of us both blessing and curse—blessing for thousand
generations and yes, we should be aware of the possibility of a curse
for four generations. This is probably more about being aware of
possible consequences of our action (even for the following
generations), however (so that we are not that much frightened) God
immediately adds that his blessing is much more powerful than curses we
bring on heads of us and four following generations.

`Sirach 35:21-23`_ —the prayer once prayed will not rest until it will do
great things!
