Proverbs 13:22

A good man’s success helps other people. He will be able to help his children. He will even be able to help his grandchildren.

An evil man tries to copy this. He stores his money. He thinks that he is very wealthy. But he cannot benefit from his great wealth. When he dies, he will lose it all. In the end, everything belongs to God. See Luke 12:16-21.

v23 Fields can produce plenty of food.

But an evil man may not let poor people cultivate the fields.

Then the poor people cannot produce food for themselves.

v24 If a father will not smack his son, then that father hates his son.

A father who loves his son corrects his son.

v25 When a good man eats, he eats enough food.

But an evil man’s stomach is always hungry.
