Proverbs 13:22-24
Contemporary English Version
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.
