Ben Sira 41:5

5 The children of sinners are abominable children, and they that are conversant in the dwelling of the ungodly.

Ben Sira 41:5 In-Context

3 Fear not the sentence of death; remember them that have been before thee and that come after, for this is the sentence of the Lord over all flesh.
4 And why art thou against the pleasure of the Most High? There is no inquisition in the grave, whether thou have lived ten or a hundred or a thousand years.
5 The children of sinners are abominable children, and they that are conversant in the dwelling of the ungodly.
6 The inheritance of sinners' children shall perish, and their posterity shall have a perpetual reproach.
7 The children will complain of an ungodly father, because they shall be reproached for his sake.
