Sirach 41:8

8 How terrible it will be for you who are ungodly, who have abandoned the Law of the Most High!

Sirach 41:8 In-Context

6 The inheritance of sinners' children will be destroyed, and their offspring will always live in disgrace.

7 Children will blame an ungodly father, because they will be disgraced because of him.

8 How terrible it will be for you who are ungodly, who have abandoned the Law of the Most High!

9 When you are born, you are born to a curse, and when you die, you will leave a curse as your legacy.

10 Everything that's from the earth will go back to the earth; so the ungodly come from a curse and go to destruction.
