Proverbs 13:22

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

²¹ Adversity pursues sinners,
But the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.
²² A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
And the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.
²³ Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor,
But it is swept away by injustice.
