John Trapp on Proverbs 13:22

Verſ. 22. A good man leaveth inheritance to his childe] Perſonal goodneſs is profitable to Poſterity: God gives not to his ſervants ſome ſmall annuity for life onely (as great men uſe to do) but keepeth mercy for thouſands of generations of them that fear him, Exod. 34.7. Where the Maſorites obſerve Nun. Rabbath, a great N in the word Not for keepeth; to note the large extent of Gods love to the good mans poſterity. God left David a Lamp in Jeruſalem, 1 Kings 15.4. although his houſe were not ſo with God, 2 Sam. 23.5.

And the wealth of the ſinner is laid up for the juſt] as Nabals was for David, Hamans for Mordecai, the Canaanites for the Iſraelites. Howbeit this holds not perpetually and univerſally in every wicked perſon; for ſome of them are full of children, and leave the reſt of their ſubſtance for their babes, Pſal. 17.14. Hereupon their inward thought is, that their houſes ſhall continue for ever, &c. they call their Lands after their own names (as Cain called his new built City after the name of his ſon Henoch, Gen. 8.4.) This their way is their folly, or is their conſtant hope (for the word ſignifies both) and their Poſterity approve their ſayings, and vote the ſame way, Pſal. 49.11, 13. But together with their lands, they bequeath their children their ſins and puniſhments, which is far worſe than that legacy of Leproſie that Joab left his iſſue, 2 Sam. 3.29. Confer Job 27.16, 17. Iſa. 61.5.
