Wisdom 3:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² Their wives are foolish, and their children evil;
¹³ their offspring are accursed.

For blessed is the barren woman who is undefiled,
who has not entered into a sinful union;
she will have fruit when God examines souls.
¹⁴ Blessed also is the eunuch whose hands have done no lawless deed,
and who has not devised wicked things against the Lord;
for special favor will be shown him for his faithfulness,
and a place of great delight in the temple of the Lord.
