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. ”
