7. Children will complain of an ungodly father, Because they shall be reproached for his sake.
8. Woe to you, ungodly men, Which have forsaken the law of the Most High God!
9. If you⌃ be born, you⌃ shall be born to a curse; If you⌃ die, a curse shall be your portion.
10. All things that are of the earth shall go back to the earth: So the ungodly shall go from a curse to perdition.
11. The mourning of men is about their bodies: But the name of sinners being evil shall be blotted out.
12. Have regard to your name; For it continueth with you longer than a thousand great treasures of gold.
13. A good life has its number of days; And a good name continueth for ever.
14. My children, keep instruction in peace: But wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, What profit is in them both?
15. Better is a man that hides his foolishness Than a man that hides his wisdom.
16. Wherefore show reverence to my word: For it is not good to retain every kind of shame; And not all things are approved by all in good faith.
