This looks mysoginous. Why women are wicked? that means all women are wicked. Why the king? why the children of men? This is awful. I'd understand they would have written there are wicked women, there are wicked kings, etc. But never to generalize. Everybody is child of men. So the entire humankind is wicked! Including the prophets, and Jesus Himself!
