Proverbs 20:4-7
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 20

4The lazy one does not plow after the autumn, So he begs during the harvest and has nothing. 5A plan in the heart of a person is like deep water, But a person of understanding draws it out. 6Many a person proclaims his own loyalty, But who can find a trustworthy person? 7A righteous person who walks in his integrity— How blessed are his sons after him.
King James Version

Chapter 20

4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
7The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
Christian Standard Bible

7A righteous person acts with integrity; his children who come after him will be happy.

7The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them.

7The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.
