But the wicked shall be punished according to their own devices: who have neglected the just, and have revolted from the Lord. 11For he that rejecteth wisdom, and discipline, is unhappy: and their hope is vain, and their labours without fruit, and their works unprofitable. 12Their wives are foolish, and their children wicked. 13Their offspring is cursed, for happy is the barren: and the undefiled, that hath not known bed in sin, she shall have fruit in the visitation of holy souls. 14And the eunuch, that hath not wrought iniquity with his hands, nor thought wicked things against God for the precious gift of faith shall be given to him, and a most acceptable lot in the temple of God. 15For the fruit of good labours is glorious, and the root of wisdom never faileth. 16But the children of adulterers shall not come to perfection, and the seed of the unlawful bed shall be rooted out. 17And if they live long, they shall be nothing regarded, and their last old age shall be without honour. 18And if they die quickly, they shall have no hope, nor speech of comfort in the day of trial. 19For dreadful are the ends of a wicked race.
