21. Misfortune pursues sinners,but the just shall be recompensed with good.
22. The good leave an inheritance to their children’s children,but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the just.
23. The tillage of the poor yields abundant food,but possessions are swept away for lack of justice.
24. Whoever spares the rod hates the child,but whoever loves will apply discipline.
25. When the just eat, their hunger is appeased;but the belly of the wicked suffers want.
