15:18. Before man is life and death, good and evil, that which he shall choose shall be given him:
15:19. For the wisdom of God is great, and he is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing.
15:20. The eyes of the Lord are towards them that fear him, and he knoweth al the work of man.
15:21. He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, and he hath given no man license to sin;
15:22. For he desireth not a multitude of faithless and unprofitable children.
Ecclesiasticus Chapter 16
It is better to have none than many wicked children. Of the justice and mercy of God. His ways are unsearchable.
16:1. Rejoice not in ungodly children, if they be multiplied: neither be delighted in them, if the fear of God be not with them.
16:2. Trust not to their life, and respect not their labours.
16:3. For better is one that feareth God, than a thousand ungodly children.
