A good man leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren,
but the sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.

Though he piles up silver like dust
and heaps up a wardrobe like clay—

Whoever increases his wealth through excessive interest
collects it for one who is kind to the poor.

For to the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and accumulating in order to give to the one who is pleasing in God’s sight. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

I will keep My covenant between Me and you, and your future offspring throughout their generations, as an everlasting covenant to be your God and the God of your offspring after you.

So do not give your daughters to their sons in marriage or take their daughters for your sons. Never seek their peace or prosperity, so that you will be strong, eat the good things of the land, and leave it as an inheritance to your sons forever.”

Who is the man who fears the Lord?
He will show him the way he should choose.

I have been young and now I am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned
or his children begging for bread.

Your servants’ children will dwell securely,
and their offspring will be established before You.”

His descendants will be powerful in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.

and will see your children’s children!

Peace be with Israel.

The wealth

Whoever increases his wealth through excessive interest
collects it for one who is kind to the poor.
Though he piles up silver like dust
and heaps up a wardrobe like clay—
For to the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and accumulating in order to give to the one who is pleasing in God’s sight. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

General references

God has taken away your father’s herds and given them to me.
Your descendants will be blessed,
and your land’s produce,
and the offspring of your livestock,
including the young of your herds
and the newborn of your flocks.
