Psalms 1:1

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man
The singular Hebrew word for  man (ish) is used here to portray a representative example of a godly person; see Preface

who bwalks not in cthe counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in dthe way of sinners,
nor esits in fthe seat of gscoffers;

Proverbs 1:22

22“How long, O hsimple ones, will you love being simple?
How long will iscoffers delight in their scoffing
and fools jhate knowledge?

Proverbs 9:7

7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
