The Book of Wisdom | EWTN

The Book of Wisdom. Author: Catholic Software. THE BOOK OF WISDOM. This Book is so called, because it treats of the excellence of WISDOM, the means to obtain it, and the happy fruits it produces. It is written in the person of Solomon, and contains his sentiments. But it is uncertain who was the writer.


Wisdom 3
…15For the fruit of good labours is glorious, and the root of wisdom never faileth. 16But the children of adulterers shall not come to perfection, and the seed of the unlawful bed shall be rooted out. 17And if they live long, they shall be nothing regarded, and their last old age shall be without honour.…

Wisdom 3:17
And if they live long, they shall be nothing regarded, and their last old age shall be without honour.

Wisdom 3:18
And if they die quickly, they shall have no hope, nor speech of comfort in the day of trial.
 
These are most likely observations of the lives of children who were known to be born out of adultery. Imagine being a child of a single mom in those days, with no father in the picture to provide, to train, to guide into apprenticeship. If the mom needed money, or could not provide for the child, one option would be to sell the child into slavery.

It is often not a piece of cake today for either mother or child when it occurs today either, even when the father is Hunter Biden.
