1. REJOICE not in ungodly children, if they be multiplied: neither be delighted in them, if the fear of God be not with them.
2. Trust not to their life, and respect not their labours.
3. For better is one that feareth God, than a thousand ungodly children.
4. And it is better to die without children, than to leave ungodly children.
5. By one that is wise a country shall be inhabited, the tribe of the ungodly shall become desolate.
