3 They are like treesgrowing beside a stream,trees that producefruit in seasonand always have leaves.Those people succeedin everything they do.
4 That isn't true of thosewho are evil,because they are like strawblown by the wind.
5 Sinners won't have an excuseon the day of judgment,and they won't have a placewith the people of God.
6 The Lord protects everyonewho follows him,but the wicked follow a roadthat leads to ruin.
