3
But the multiplying brood of the ungodly shall not thrive, nor take deep rooting from bastard slips, nor lay any fast foundation.
4
For though they flourish in branches for a time; yet standing not last, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out.
5
The imperfect branches shall be broken off, their fruit unprofitable, not ripe to eat, yea, meet for nothing.
6
For children begotten of unlawful beds are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial.
7
But though the righteous be prevented with death, yet shall he be in rest.
