Wisdom 3:16-18

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶ But children of adulterers will not come to maturity,
and the offspring of an unlawful union will perish.
¹⁷ Even if they live long they will be held of no account,
and finally their old age will be without honor.
¹⁸ If they die young, they will have no hope
and no consolation in the day of decision.
