Wisdom 3:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

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 favour 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 labours 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.
