A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.
For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Though he heap up silver like dust, and pile up clothing like clay, he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver.
Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit gathers it for him who is generous to the poor.
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.
His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.”
Who is the man who fears the Lord? Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. His soul shall abide in well-being, and his offspring shall inherit the land.
Therefore do not give your daughters to their sons, neither take their daughters for your sons, and never seek their peace or prosperity, that you may be strong and eat the good of the land and leave it for an inheritance to your children forever.’
May you see your children's children! Peace be upon Israel!
The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you.
