Wisdom 3:11

11 for those who despise wisdom and instruction are miserable. Their hope is vain, their labors are unprofitable, and their works are useless.

Wisdom 3:11 In-Context

9 Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect.
10 But the ungodly will be punished as their reasoning deserves, those who disregarded the righteous and rebelled against the Lord;
11 for those who despise wisdom and instruction are miserable. Their hope is vain, their labors are unprofitable, and their works are useless.
12 Their wives are foolish, and their children evil;
13 their offspring are accursed. For blessed is the barren woman who is undefiled, who has not entered into a sinful union; she will have fruit when God examines souls.
