Wisdom of Solomon 4:3–5

But the multiplying brood of the ungodly shall be of no profit,

And with bastard slips they shall not strike deep root,

Nor shall they establish a sure hold.

For even if these put forth boughs and flourish for a season,

Yet, standing unsure, they shall be shaken by the wind,

And by the violence of winds they shall be rooted out.

Their branches shall be broken off ere they come to maturity,

And their fruit shall be useless,

Not ripe to eat, and meet for nothing.
