Proverbs 13:22 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

A good man leaveth an inheritance, &c. “A man that doeth good with his estate, takes the surest course to settle it upon his posterity for many generations;” and the wealth, &c. Rather, but the wealth of the sinner, “of him who regards nothing but his own sinful lusts and pleasures, shall be transferred from his family into one that is truly virtuous.”

Proverbs 13:22

22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
