1 Blessed is the person who ^(A)does not walk in the ^(B)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the ^[a](C)path of sinners,
Nor ^(D)sit in the seat of scoffers!

²² “How long, you ^(A)naive ones, will you love simplistic thinking?
And how long will ^(B)scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools ^(C)hate knowledge?

²⁰ For the ^(A)ruthless will come to an end and the ^(B)scorner will be finished,
Indeed ^(C)all who ^[a]are intent on doing evil will be eliminated,
