Wisdom of Solomon 3:16–19

16 But children of adulterers will not come to maturity,

and the offspring of an unlawful union will perish.

17 Even if they live long they will be held of no account,

and finally their old age will be without honor.

18 If they die young, they will have no hope

and no consolation in the day of decision.

19 For the end of an unrighteous generation is grievous.
