Ezra 9:12

9:12 Therefore do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons, and do not take their daughters in marriage for your sons. Do not ever seek their peace or welfare, so that you may be strong and may eat the good of the land and may leave it as an inheritance for your children ¹  forever.’

Proverbs 13:22

13:22 A benevolent ²  person leaves an inheritance ³  for his grandchildren, ⁴ 

but the wealth of a sinner is stored up for the righteous. ⁵ 

[9:12]  ¹ tn Heb “sons”; cf. KJV, NAB, NIV, NLT “children”; NCV, TEV “descendants.”

[13:22]  ² tn Heb “good.”

[13:22]  ³ 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.

[13:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “the children of children.”

[13:22]  ⁵ sn In the ultimate justice of God, the wealth of the wicked goes to the righteous after death (e.g., Ps 49:10, 17).
