9
The inheritance of the children of sinners shall perish, and with their posterity shall be a perpetual reproach.
10
The children will complain of an ungodly father, because for his sake they are in reproach.
11
Woe to you, ungodly men, who have forsaken the law of the most high Lord.
12
And if you be born, you shall be born in malediction: and if you die, in malediction shall be your portion.
13
All things that are of the earth, shall return into the earth: so the ungodly shall from malediction to destruction.
14
The mourning of men is about their body, but the name of the ungodly shall be blotted out.
15
Take care of a good name: for this shall continue with thee, more than a thousand treasures precious and great.
16
A good life hath its number of days: but a good name shall continue for ever.
17
My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both?
18
Better is the man that hideth his folly, then the man that hideth his wisdom.
19
Wherefore have a shame of these things I am now going to speak of.
