The two paths

(Matthew 5:3-12; Luke 6:20-23)
1
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:
2
But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.
3
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.
4
The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.
5
Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.
6
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.
