16 The children of adulterers, however, will come to nothing. The seed of people who have sex with others in violation of the Law will dry up.
17 Even if they live to old age, their lives won’t amount to anything. In their old age they will have no honor.
18 If they die young, they will have no hope or comfort on Judgment Day.
19 The family line of those who don’t do what is right will come to a bad end.
