22 (A)A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children,
    but (B)the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.
23 The fallow ground of the poor would yield much food,
    but it is swept away through (C)injustice.
24 (D)Whoever spares the rod hates his son,
    but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.[a]
