Sirach 41:8-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ The children of sinners become children of abominations, and they that converse near the houses of the ungodly.

⁹ The inheritance of the children of sinners shall perish, and with their posterity shall be a perpetual reproach.

¹⁰ The children will complain of an ungodly father, because for his sake they are in reproach.

¹¹ Woe to you, ungodly men, who have forsaken the law of the most high Lord.

¹² And if you be born, you shall be born in malediction: and if you die, in malediction shall be your portion.

¹³ All things that are of the earth, shall return into the earth: so the ungodly shall from malediction to destruction.
