Wisdom 4:3

3 But the multiplying brood of the ungodly shall not thrive, nor take deep rooting from bastard slips, nor lay any fast foundation.

Wisdom 4:3 In-Context

1 Better it is to have no children, and to have virtue; for the memorial thereof is immortal, because it is approved with God and with men.

2 When it is present, men take example from it, and when it is gone, they desire it; it weareth a crown and triumpheth for ever, having gotten the victory, striving for undefiled rewards.

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 fast, 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.
