Rashi, on Ezek 18:2

“That you use among you this parable as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.”

“And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What do you mean that you use this parable Asanplanz in Old French, comparison, parable. The fathers have eaten sour grapes Heb. בוֹסֶר, fruit before it has ripened. Verjus in—French, verjuice. and the children’s teeth are set on edge Heb. תִּקְהֶינָה, agazeront in Old French, will be set on edge. So is the way of the Holy One, blessed be He: the fathers sin and the children are punished, for the kings of Israel sinned for many years before they were exiled, and we too need not be concerned that we shall be punished for our iniquities.”
