May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation.
A man may father a hundred children and live many years, but however many are the days of his years, if he does not enjoy life’s good things or has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.
moreover, it has not seen the sun or known anything, yet it finds rest rather than he.
