Sirach 41:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ Children will blame an ungodly father,
    for they suffer disgrace because of him.
⁸ Woe to you, the ungodly,
    who have forsaken the law of the Most High God!
⁹ If you have children, calamity will be theirs;
    you will beget them only for groaning.
When you stumble, there is lasting joy;^[a]
    and when you die, a curse is your lot.
