Punish Illegitimate Children 

So it is with a woman who leaves her husband and presents him with an heir by another man.  For first of all, she has disobeyed the law of the Most High; second, she has committed an offense against her husband; and third, through her fornication she has committed adultery and brought forth children by another man.  She herself will be brought before the assembly, and her punishment will extend to her children.  Her children will not take root, and her branches will not bear fruit.  (Sirach 23:22-25 NRSV)
