⁶ Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;
    parents^[a] are the pride of their children.

³¹ Gray hair is a crown of glory;
    it is gained by living a godly life.

³ Children are a gift from the Lord;
    they are a reward from him.
⁴ Children born to a young man
    are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
⁵ How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!
    He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.

²² Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren,
    but the sinner’s wealth passes to the godly.

³ Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine,
    flourishing within your home.
Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees
    as they sit around your table.
⁴ That is the Lord’s blessing
    for those who fear him.

⁵ May the Lord continually bless you from Zion.
    May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live.
⁶ May you live to enjoy your grandchildren.
    May Israel have peace!
