²¹ Evil pursues sinners, but the consistently upright and in right standing with God is recompensed with good.

²² A good man leaves an inheritance [of moral stability and goodness] to his children’s children, and the wealth of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up.
