Jeremiah 31:29 "In those days they will not say again, 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children's teeth are set on edge.'
...and as if sounding as an unsolicited advertisement for the old testament:
Their unbelieving calumnies on God's justice had become so common as to have assumed a proverbial form. The sin of Adam in eating the forbidden fruit, visited on his posterity, seems to have suggested the peculiar form; noticed also by Jeremiah (Jer 31:29); and explained in La 5:7, "Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities." They mean by "the children" themselves, as though they were innocent, whereas they were far from being so. The partial reformation effected since Manasseh's wicked reign, especially among the exiles at Chebar, was their ground for thinking so; but the improvement was only superficial and only fostered their self-righteous spirit, which sought anywhere but in themselves the cause of their calamities; just as the modern Jews attribute their present dispersion, not to their own sins, but to those of their forefathers. It is a universal mark of corrupt nature to lay the blame, which belongs to ourselves, on others and to arraign the justice of God. Compare Ge 3:12, where Adam transfers the blame of his sin to Eve, and even to God, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."

That's a great analysis, Bob. I'd never thought of the Jews having such a widespread attitude like that, but it's obviously a trait in all of us to unconsciously cast blame in order to skirt personal responsibility. In fact it seems to be a very large problem in our own nation if you observe our political structure lol. Thanks for your input!
