13 Then you will sprosper tif you are careful to observe the statutes and the rules that the Lord commanded Moses for Israel. uBe strong and courageous. vFear not; do not be dismayed.
Book One
The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked
who walks not in the bcounsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his cdelight is in the law2 of the Lord,
and on his law he dmeditates day and night.
3 eHe is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that fyields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he gprospers.
