Bible in Basic English
The heritage of the good man is handed down to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the upright man.
There is much food in the ploughed land of the poor; but it is taken away by wrongdoing.
He who keeps back his rod is unkind to his son: the loving father gives punishment with care.
The upright man has food to the full measure of his desire, but there will be no food for the stomach of evil-doers.
— Proverbs 13:22-1964, Bible in Basic English
“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. ”

“A good person leaves an inheritance for his grandchildren, but the wealth of a sinner is stored up for the righteous. Abundant food may come from the field of the poor, but it is swept away by injustice. The one who spares his rod hates his child, but the one who loves his child is diligent in disciplining him. The righteous has enough food to satisfy his appetite, but the belly of the wicked will be empty.”
“The good man leaveth heirs, sons, and grandsons: and the substance of the sinner is kept for the just. Much food is in the tillage of fathers: but for others it is gathered without judgment. He that spareth the rod, hateth his son: but he that loveth him, correcteth him betimes. The just eateth and filleth his soul: but the belly of the wicked is never to be filled. ”
