Wisdom 4:5

Even before the twigs have had a chance to bud, they will be broken off. Their fruit will be useless. It will never ripen and be fit to eat. It’ll be good for absolutely nothing.
For the branches not being perfect, shall be broken, and their fruits shall be unprofitable, and sour to eat, and fit for nothing.
Their branches snap off before they mature; their fruit never ripens, and it is good for nothing.
Their twigs shall be broken off untimely, their fruit useless, unripe for eating, fit for nothing.
