Commentary for Proverbs 13:22

ט֗וֹב יַנְחִ֥יל בְּנֵֽי־בָנִ֑ים וְצָפ֥וּן לַ֝צַּדִּ֗יק חֵ֣יל חוֹטֵֽא׃

A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children; And the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

Rashi on Proverbs

A good man will leave an inheritance of his merit and his property to his sons’ sons, but a sinner does not leave over an inheritance to his sons, for his wealth and his property are laid away for the righteous, as it is written (Esther 8:2): “And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.”
