The two paths

(Matthew 5:3-12; Luke 6:20-23)
1
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2
But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3
And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
4
Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
5
Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
6
For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall 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.
