4 Not so the wicked!

They are like chaff

that the wind blows away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

4 The ungodly are not so:

But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

4 But not the wicked!

They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.

5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment.

Sinners will have no place among the godly.

4 The ungodly are not so,

But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

4 But wicked people are not like that.

They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

5 So the wicked will not escape God’s punishment.

Sinners will not worship with God’s people.

4 The wicked are not so,

But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

4 The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

4 Wicked people are not like that. 

Instead, they are like husks that the wind blows away. 

5 That is why wicked people will not be able to stand in the judgment 

and sinners will not be able to stand where righteous people gather. 

4 The wicked are not like this;

instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not survive the judgment,

and sinners will not be in the community of the righteous.

4 The wicked are not so,

but are like chaff that the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

4 Not so the wicked.

Instead, they are like the chaff that the wind scatters.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

4 Sinful people are not like that at all.

They are like straw

that the wind blows away.

5 When the Lord judges them, their life will come to an end.

Sinners won’t have any place among those who are godly.

4 The wicked are not so,

But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
