Proverbs 20:7
The just man walketh in his integrity: His children are blessed after him.
In context
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; Therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out. 6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: But a faithful man who can find? 7 The just man walketh in his integrity: His children are blessed after him. 8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment Scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? 10 Divers weights, and divers measures, Both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
