Ben Sira 41:7

7 The children will put the blame for their disgrace on their ungodly parents.

Ben Sira 41:7 In-Context

5 The children of sinners, brought up in ungodly surroundings, turn out to be hateful people.

6 They will lose whatever they inherit, and their own descendants will live in permanent disgrace.

7 The children will put the blame for their disgrace on their ungodly parents.

8 You are doomed, you irreligious people who have abandoned the Law of the Most High God.

9 When you have children, disaster will strike them and you will be left with nothing but sorrow. There will be great joy whenever you stumble, and even after your death you will be cursed.
