Wisdom 4:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Even before the twigs have had a chance to bud, they will be broken off. Their fruit will be useless. It will never ripen and be fit to eat. It’ll be good for absolutely nothing. ⁶ Children born of sex outside the bounds of the Law will be called as witnesses against their parents’ illicit sex when the time for judgment comes.

⁷ In contrast, those who have done what is right will be at rest, even if they die an early death.
