Proverbs 13:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹Hard times chase those who are sinful.
But those who do right are rewarded with good things.

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.

²³An unplowed field produces food for poor people.
But those who treat them badly destroy it all.
