15 For good labors have fruit of great renown; And the root of understanding can’t fail.
16 But children of adulterers shall not come to maturity, And the seed of an unlawful bed shall vanish away.
17 For if they live long, they shall be held in no account, And at the last their old age shall be without honor.
18 And if they die quickly, they shall have no hope, Nor in the day of decision shall they have consolation.
19 For the end of an unrighteous generation is always grievous.
