Wisdom 3:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 But the wicked shall receive a punishment to match their thoughts,[a]
since they neglected righteousness and forsook the Lord.
11 For those who despise wisdom and instruction are doomed.(A)
Vain is their hope, fruitless their labors,
and worthless their works.(B)
12 Their wives are foolish and their children wicked,
accursed their brood.(C)
