# Proverbs 13:22 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children; and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.

<!-- .vintro -->

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Proverbs 13:22 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (good man), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
