Wisdom of Ben Sira 41:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Children will blame a godless father
    for the reproach they endure because of him.
⁸ Woe to you who are godless,
    who have forsaken the law of God Most High.
⁹ If you have children, they will endure calamity;
    you will beget them solely for groaning.
When you stumble, lasting joy prevails;
    and when you die, a curse is your lot.
