Ecclesiasticus 23:34-38 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

34. This woman shall be brought into the assembly, and inquisition shall be made of her children.

35. Her children shall not take root, and her branches shall bring forth no fruit.

36. She shall leave her memory to be cursed, and her infamy shall not be blotted out.

37. And they that remain shall know, that there is nothing better than the fear of God: and that there is nothing sweeter than to have regard to the commandments of the Lord.

38. It is great glory to follow the Lord for length of days shall be received from him.
