Karl,

I hate to make the argument from authority but every 
translation I could find translates piqed as either punish 
or visit inquity or charge inquity:

NLT, NIV= Punish
KJV, NASB, RSV, Webster, Darby, ASV, HNV = Visit iniquity 
upon
Young = Charging iniquity upon
Vulgate = est qui reddis iniquitatem patrum in filiis ac 
nepotibus in tertiam et quartam progeniem
LXX =  epagwn anomiav paterwn epi tekna kai epi tekna 
teknwn epi trithn kai tetarthn genean

In * iq * ui * ties 

1.      Gross immorality or injustice; wickedness.
2.      A grossly immoral act; a sin.

Of course, the phrase *visit inquity upon* is pretty 
archaic terminology but it clearly means *punish*.
