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.
8
Woe be unto you, ungodly men, who have forsaken the law of the Most High God! For if ye increase, it shall be to your destruction;
9
and if ye be born, ye shall be born to a curse; and if ye die, a curse shall be your portion.
10
All that are of the earth shall return to earth again; so the ungodly shall go from a curse to destruction.
11
The mourning of men is about their bodies, but an evil name of sinners shall be blotted out.
12
Have regard for thy name, for that shall continue with thee above a thousand great treasures of gold.
13
A good life hath but few days, but a good name endureth for ever.
14
My children, keep discipline in peace; for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is in them both?
