Proverbs 13:22 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

A good man. — As this corresponds to the “just” man in the next line, who is one who “renders to all their due” (see above on Proverbs 10:2), it probably has the meaning here of “liberal,” “unselfish;” such a one gains the promise given in Proverbs 11:25.

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.
