And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season;
Its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].(A)

Therefore the wicked will not stand [unpunished] in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
