Ben Sira 41:5-10 (New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha)
5
The children of sinners are abominable children, and they frequent the haunts of the ungodly.
6
The inheritance of the children of sinners will perish, and on their offspring will be a perpetual disgrace.
7
Children will blame an ungodly father, for they suffer disgrace because of him.
8
Woe to you, the ungodly, who have forsaken the law of the Most High God!
9
If you have children, calamity will be theirs; you will beget them only for groaning. When you stumble, there is lasting joy; a and when you die, a curse is your lot.
10
Whatever comes from earth returns to earth; so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.
