26. He is ever merciful, and lendeth. The
righteous are constantly under generous impulses; they do not prosper through
parsimony, but through bounty. Like the bounteous Giver of all good, of whom
they are the beloved sons, they delight in doing good. How the stingy and
covetous can hope for salvation is a marvel to those who read such verses as
this. And his seed is blessed. God pays back with interest in the next
generation. Where the children of the righteous are not godly, there must be
some reason for it in parental neglect, or some other guilty cause.
