Wisdom of Ben Sira 23:24-26
New Catholic Bible
24 [a]She will be presented before the assembly for judgment,
and her punishment will extend to her children.
25 Her children will not strike root,
nor will her branches bear fruit.
26 She will leave behind an accursed memory,
and her disgrace will never be effaced.
