21 4Adversity pursues sinners, But the 5righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.
22 A good man 6leaves an inheritance to his children's children, And the 7wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.
23 8Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor, But it is swept away by injustice *.
24 He who 9withholds his rod hates his son, But he who loves him 10disciplines him diligently.
25 The 11righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of the 12wicked is in need.
