Sirach 41:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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!^[a]
9     You^[b] will beget them only for groaning.
When you stumble, there is lasting joy,^[c]
    and when you die, a curse is your lot.^(A)
