13:22 A benevolent 1 person leaves an inheritance 2 for his grandchildren, 3
but the wealth of a sinner is stored up for the righteous. 4
1 tn Heb “good.”
2 sn In ancient Israel the idea of leaving an inheritance was a sign of God’s blessing; blessings extended to the righteous and not the sinners.
3 tn Heb “the children of children.”
4 sn In the ultimate justice of God, the wealth of the wicked goes to the righteous after death (e.g., Ps 49:10, 17).
