Wisdom 3:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Everyone will praise the fruit of good work. Good sense is a root that never withers.

¹⁶ The children of adulterers, however, will come to nothing. The seed of people who have sex with others in violation of the Law will dry up. ¹⁷ Even if they live to old age, their lives won’t amount to anything. In their old age they will have no honor.
