All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a post that hasted by;
All Commentaries on Wisdom of Solomon 5:9 Go To Wisdom of Solomon 5
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
"The posterity of the godless will perish." This is because the posterity of the godless are their works. But we again see that the child of the godless prospers in the world and, at times, becomes righteous and prospers in Christ. Observe therefore how you must understand this, so as to open the roof and come to Christ. Do not understand this carnally, because you would fall into error. But the seed of the godless, all the works of the godless, will perish; they will not bear fruit. For the time being, in fact, they will have some value, but later they will look for what they have done and not find it.
