But he delights in the Lord’s instruction,[a]
    and meditates in his instruction[b] day and night.
He will be like a tree planted by streams of water,
    yielding its fruit in its season,
        and whose leaf does not wither.
He will prosper in everything he does.

But this is not the case with the wicked.
    They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

That person is like a tree(D) planted by streams(E) of water,(F)
    which yields its fruit(G) in season
and whose leaf(H) does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.(I)

Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff(J)
    that the wind blows away.
