Therefore the wicked will not

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment (審判), nor sinners in the congregation (集會) of the righteous(the+形容詞=名詞,義人); for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish (毀滅,死亡). (Psalms 1. 5-6, Bible)

因此,當審判的時候,惡人必站立不住;罪人在義人的會中也是如此。因為耶和華知道義人的道路;惡人的道路卻必滅亡。(詩篇2章5-6節,聖經)

There is indeed the assembly of the righteous, and it is indeed true that God executes judgment by making a distinction between the righteous and the wicked. According to all outward appearance, godly people may suffer because of the wicked, but it tells us that God knows the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked will perish.

He is like a tree planted

He is like a tree planted (栽種) by streams (溪流) of water that yields (結出) its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither (枯萎). In all that he does, he prospers (成功,繁榮). The wicked are not so, but are like chaff (穀殼) that the wind drives away. (Psalms 1. 1-2, Bible)

他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁,按時候結果子,也子也不枯乾。凡他所做的盡都順利。惡人並不是這樣,乃像糠秕被風吹散。(詩篇1篇3-4節,聖經)

Those who are so delighted with God's instructions have their roots in the ground by streams of water; they are like trees planted in the situation well watered. Thus, they do not wither, bringing forth their fruits in season. This is a vivid metaphor that shows the prosperity of those who love God. However, the ungodly shall be like chaff. With the blast of God's wrath, they will be driven here and there, even though they appear to great advantage now.

Blessed is the man

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel (建議、勸告)of the wicked (the + 形容詞=名詞,惡人), nor stands in the way of sinners(罪人), nor sits in the seat of scoffers(嘲笑者); but his delight (欣喜)is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates (沈思)day and night. (Psalms 1. 1-2, Bible)

不從惡人的計謀,不站罪人的道路,不做褻慢人的座位,唯喜愛耶和華的律法,晝夜思想,這人便為有福!(詩篇1章1-2節,聖經)

It is impossible for anyone who loves God's words has not first separated (分別) himself from the wicked, sinners, and scoffers. In other words, those who are blessed must endeavor (努力) utterly to shun(避開) the life of the ungodly. Those who really are so delighted with God's instructions and meditate on them day and night are blessed.

In December 2019, the COVID-19              began. The virus spread sickness and death,               panic and fear across the planet.

 

And while COVID-19 may still be dangerous for some people, like the elderly, newer               will likely be far less so for young, health people.

 

Vaccines not only help prevent the worst              , but they also help limit               from person to person.

 

Still, there is hope that an “all-in-one” vaccine could one day protect against future variants of the virus with a single              .

 

In crowded places, wearing face masks is still a good idea, even if it isn’t              , because masks slow the spread of the virus.
