Sirach 16:2DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 2 of 31
"Trust not to their life, and respect not their labours."
In context
1Rejoice not in ungodly children, if they be multiplied: neither be delighted in them, if the fear of God be not with them.

3For better is one that feareth God, than a thousand ungodly children.
4And it is better to die without children, than to leave ungodly children.
