The two paths

(Matthew 5:3-12; Luke 6:20-23)

Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull:

But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.

For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper.

The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.

Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.

The two paths

(Matthew 5:3-12; Luke 6:20-23)

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;

but his delight is in the LORD’s(a) law. On his law he meditates day and night.

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.

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
