The two paths

(Matthew 5:3-12; Luke 6:20-23)
1
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.
2
But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.
3
He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.
4
Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.
5
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6
For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

The two paths

(Matthew 5:3-12; Luke 6:20-23)
1
Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2
but his delight is in the LORD’s(a) law. On his law he meditates day and night.
3
He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.
4
The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6
For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
