Wisdom of Solomon 3:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ for those who despise wisdom and instruction are miserable.
Their hope is vain, their labors are unprofitable,
and their works are useless.
¹² Their wives are foolish and their children evil;^(A)
their offspring are accursed.

¹³ 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.^(B)
