Proverbs 13:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²²A good person leaves what they own to their children and grandchildren.
But a sinner’s wealth is stored up for those who do right.

But those who treat them badly destroy it all.

²⁴Those who don’t correct their children hate them.
But those who love them are careful to correct them.
