The Wisdom of Solomon 3:10-19

[10] But the ungodly will be punished as their reasoning deserves,
who disregarded the righteous man and rebelled
against the Lord;
[11] for whoever despises wisdom and instruction is miserable.
Their hope is vain, their labors are unprofitable,
and their works are useless.
[12] Their wives are foolish, and their children evil;
[13] their offspring are accursed.
For blessed is the barren woman who is undefiled,
who has not entered into a sinful union;
she will have fruit when God examines souls.
[14] Blessed also is the eunuch whose hands have
done no lawless deed,
and who has not devised wicked things against the Lord;
for special favor will be shown him for his faithfulness,
and a place of great delight in the temple of the Lord.
[15] For the fruit of good labors is renowned,
and the root of understanding does not fail.
[16] But children of adulterers will not come to maturity,
and the offspring of an unlawful union will perish.
[17] Even if they live long they will be held of no account,
and finally their old age will be without honor.
[18] If they die young, they will have no hope
and no consolation in the day of decision.
[19] For the end of an unrighteous generation is grievous.
