21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
21 An inheritance claimed too soon will not be blessed at the end.
21 An inheritance gained hastily in the beginning will not be blessed in the end.
21 A bonanza at the beginning is no guarantee of blessing at the end.
21 An inheritance gained hastily at the beginning Will not be blessed at the end.
21 An inheritance obtained too early in life is not a blessing in the end.
