1:1 God’s blessings follow you and await you at every turn: when you don’t follow the advice of those who delight in wicked schemes, When you avoid sin’s highway, when judgment and sarcasm beckon you, but you refuse.
1:2 For you, the Eternal’s Word is your happiness. It is your focus—from dusk to dawn.
1:3 You are like a tree, planted by flowing, cool streams of water that never run dry. Your fruit ripens in its time; your leaves never fade or curl in the summer sun. No matter what you do, you prosper.
1:4 For those who focus on sin, the story is different. They are like the fallen husk of wheat, tossed by an open wind, left deserted and alone.
1:5 In the end, the wicked will fall in judgment; the guilty will be separated from the innocent.
1:6 Their road suddenly will end in death, yet the journey of the righteous has been charted by the Eternal.
