Job 5:4

⁵Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

¹⁵⁵Salvation is far from the wicked, for they don’t seek your statutes.

¹⁶His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above. ¹⁷His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street. ¹⁸He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. ¹⁹He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.

¹⁴If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.

¹²For I know how many are your offenses, and how great are your sins— you who afflict the just, who take a bribe, and who turn away the needy in the courts.

⁹Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. ¹⁰Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins. ¹¹Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor. ¹²Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children. ¹³Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out. ¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out. ¹⁵Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;

⁴If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience.

⁷Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.

⁵you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,

⁴Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem? ⁵I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
