Atheism in thy house will bring a curse upon thy calling, Job 5.2, 3. The works of thy hands will fare the worse for the wickedness of thy heart: On thy children (its ill to be related to a Traitor) diseases, and so destruction may be hereditary. Children may inherit both their Parents riches and ruin, Job 5.4, 5. Isa. 14.20. His seed are far from safety, they are crushed.
