41 ⁵ The children of sinners are abominable children,
and they frequent the haunts of the ungodly.
41 ⁶ The inheritance of the children of sinners will perish,
and on their posterity will be a perpetual reproach.
41 ⁷ Children will blame an ungodly father,
for they suffer reproach because of him.
41 ⁸ Woe to you, ungodly men,
who have forsaken the law of the Most High God!
41 ⁹ When you are born, you are born to a curse;
and when you die, a curse is your lot.
41 ¹⁰ Whatever is from the dust returns to dust;
so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.

41 ¹¹ The mourning of men is about their bodies,
but the evil name of sinners will be blotted out.
41 ¹² Have regard for your name, since it will remain for you
longer than a thousand great stores of gold.
41 ¹³ The days of a good life are numbered,
but a good name endures for ever.
