But to the righteous, good shall be repaid. ‡

22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,
But ^athe wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous. ‡

24 ^aHe who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him¹ promptly. ‡

25 ^aThe righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul,
But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want. ‡
