4 This is the Lord’s judgment for all beings:Why should you rejectthe good pleasure of the Most High?Whether ten or one hundredor one thousand years,there’s no arguing about lifein the grave.
5 The children of sinners are detestable,and they live togetherin the neighborhoods of the ungodly.
6 The inheritance of sinners’ childrenwill be destroyed,and their offspringwill always live in disgrace.
7 Children will blame an ungodly father,because they will be disgracedbecause of him.
8 How terrible it will be for youwho are ungodly,who have abandoned the Lawof the Most High!
9 When you are born,you are born to a curse,and when you die,you will leave a curse as your legacy.
10 Everything that’s from the earthwill go back to the earth;so the ungodly come from a curseand go to destruction.
