This is the Lord’s judgment for all beings:
    Why should you reject
    the good pleasure of the Most High?
    Whether ten or one hundred
    or one thousand years,
    there’s no arguing about life
    in the grave.[a]

The children of sinners are detestable,
    and they live together
    in the neighborhoods of the ungodly.
The inheritance of sinners’ children
will be destroyed,
    and their offspring
    will always live in disgrace.
