22 If you obey God,
you will have something
    to leave your grandchildren.
If you don't obey God,
those who live right
    will get what you leave.

23 Even when the land of the poor
    produces good crops,
they get cheated
    out of what they grow.[a]
24 If you love your children,
    you will correct them;
if you don't love them,
    you won't correct them.
