Sirach 40:15
The offspring of the ungodly won’t produce many branches, and they are polluted roots on sheer rock.
The offspring of the ungodly shall not bring forth many branches, and make a noise as unclean roots upon the top of a rock.
The children of ungodly people will not leave large families; they are like plants trying to take root on rock,
The offshoot of violence will not flourish, for the root of the godless is on sheer rock.
The children of the godless put forth very few branches, for tainted roots are planted only on sheer rock.
The children of the ungodly put out few branches; they are unhealthy roots on sheer rock.
The children of the ungodly put out few branches; they are unhealthy roots on sheer rock.
The children of the ungodly put out few branches; they are unhealthy roots on sheer rock.
The children of the ungodly put out few branches; they are unhealthy roots on sheer rock.
The children of the ungodly will not put forth many branches; they are unhealthy roots upon sheer rock.
The children of the ungodly will not put forth many branches; they are unhealthy roots upon sheer rock.
The sons of (the) sons of wicked [or of unpious] men shall not multiply branches; and (be like) unclean roots sown on the cop (or on the top) of a stone.
