Psalm 1:1-6 and
1 Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence. 2 But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night. 3 And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper. 4 Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth. 5 Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away. Jeremiah 17:5-10 5 Thus says the Lord: "Cursed is a man who trusts in man, and who establishes what is flesh as his right arm, and whose heart withdraws from the Lord. 6 For he will be like a saltcedar tree in the desert. And he will not perceive it, when what is good has arrived. Instead, he will live in dryness, in a desert, in a land of salt, which is uninhabitable. 7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, for the Lord will be his confidence. 8 And he will be like a tree planted beside waters, which sends out its roots to moist soil. And it will not fear when the heat arrives. And its leaves will be green. And in the time of drought, it will not be anxious, nor will it cease at any time to bear fruit. 9 The heart is depraved above all things, and it is unsearchable, who can know it? 10 I am the Lord, who examines the heart and tests the temperament, who gives to each one according to his way and according to the fruit of his own decisions.
