Proverbs 13:22

A benevolent ¹  person leaves an inheritance ²  for his grandchildren, ³  but the wealth of a sinner is stored up for the righteous. ⁴ 

Ge 17:7,8; Job 27:16,17; Ps 25:12,13; Ps 102:28; Ps 112:2; Ps 128:6; Pr 28:8; Ec 2:26

¹ tn Heb “good.”

² sn In ancient Israel the idea of leaving an inheritance was a sign of God’s blessing; blessings extended to the righteous and not the sinners.

³ tn Heb “the children of children.”

⁴ sn In the ultimate justice of God, the wealth of the wicked goes to the righteous after death (e.g., Ps 49:10, 17).
