Hawker's Poor man's commentary

Proverbs 13:21-25

Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.

Lord, impress all thy ponderous truths upon my soul, and give me to search for thee in all thy word, as for hidden treasure.
