16:4. And it is better to die without children, than to leave ungodly children.
16:5. By one that is wise a country shall be inhabited, the tribe of the ungodly shall become desolate.
16:6. Many such things hath my eyes seen, and greater things than these my ear hath heard.
16:7. In the congregation of sinners a fire shall be kindled, and in an unbelieving nation wrath shall flame out.
