Wisdom 4:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ But the multiplied brood of the wicked shall not thrive, and bastard slips shall not take deep root, nor any fast foundation.

⁴ And if they flourish in branches for a time, yet standing not fast, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out.

⁵ For the branches not being perfect, shall be broken, and their fruits shall be unprofitable, and sour to eat, and fit for nothing.
