SCRIPTURE

"A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children`s children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous." — Proverbs 13:22 (ASV)

An expression of trust that in the long run the anomalies of the world are rendered even (Compare to the marginal references). The heaped-up treasures of the wicked find their way at last into the hands of better men.
