4 This decree for all flesh is from God;why then should you reject a law of the Most High?Whether one has lived a thousand years, a hundred, or ten,in Sheol there are no arguments about life.
5 The children of sinners are a reprobate line,and witless offspring are in the homes of the wicked.
6 The inheritance of children of sinners will perish,and on their offspring will be perpetual disgrace.
7 Children curse their wicked father,for they suffer disgrace because of him.
8 Woe to you, O wicked people,who forsake the Law of the Most High.
9 If you have children, calamity will be theirs;and if you beget them, it will be only for groaning.When you stumble, there is lasting joy;and when you die, you become a curse.
10 All that is nought returns to nought,so too the godless—from void to void.
