1:3 He is like 1 a tree planted by flowing streams; 2
it 3 yields 4 its fruit at the proper time, 5
and its leaves never fall off. 6
He succeeds in everything he attempts. 7
1:4 Not so with the wicked!
Instead 8 they are like wind-driven chaff. 9
1:5 For this reason 10 the wicked cannot withstand 11 judgment, 12
nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly. 13
