1:1 Wicked and godly roads

1 A person will reap the benefits

if they don’t take advice from wicked people,

and don’t stand around where sinners go,

and don’t sit and join all the scoffers.

2 Instead, they enjoy Yahweh’s instructions

and think about them day and night.

3 Those people are like trees that are planted by a stream[ref]

and which produce fruit in season.

Their leaves don’t wither,

and they prosper in everything they do.[ref]

4 But wicked people won’t prosper—

they’re like straw that gets blown away by the wind.

5 The wicked people won’t be able to stand when God judges them,

and sinners won’t be able to join in the assembly of all the godly people,

6 because Yahweh knows the path chosen by godly people,

but the path of wicked people will be destroyed.

1:3: Jer 17:8.

1:3 Gen 29:2-3.

Jer 17:8:

8 That person will be like a tree planted by a stream[ref]

that sends its roots out to the water.

It has nothing to fear when the heat comes and its leaves stay green.

It has nothing to be afraid of in a drought year

and it won’t stop producing fruit.

17:8: Psa 1:3.

Gen 29:2-3:

2 Close to his destination, he looked ahead, and wow, there was a well in the countryside, and what’s more, three flocks of sheep and goats were lying there near it, because the flocks were watered from that well but the stone over the mouth of the well was large and heavy. 3 Once all the flocks were gathered there, then they would roll the stone from over the mouth of the well and water the animals. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
