The Two Paths
(Matthew 5:3–12; Luke 6:20–23)
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.Psa 26:4; Jer 15:17; Pro 10:30
But his delight is in the Law of the LORD,
and on His law he meditates day and night.Jos 1:8
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.Psa 92:12; Jer 17:8
Not so the wicked!
For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.Job 21:18; Isa 29:5
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.Mat 25:32
For the LORD guards the path of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.Nam 1:7; Jhn 10:14; 2Ti 2:19
