Wisdom 4:3-6
New Catholic Bible
3 However, the prolific progeny of the wicked will avail nothing;
none of their illegitimate stock will put forth deep roots
or lay a firm foundation.
4 For even if they put forth branches for a time,
without a firm foundation they will be shaken by the wind
and torn up by the violence of the storms.
5 Their immature branches will be broken off
and their fruit will be useless,
not ripe enough to eat and fit for no purpose.
6 For children born of unlawful unions
bear witness to the wickedness of their parents
when God brings them to judgment.[a]
