FOOTNOTES: F1: A person … God   Or, "The person who doesn't follow the advice of bad people or turn on to Sinners Road or stay at Scoffers' House is fortunate (blessed)." F2: chaff   Seed coverings and stems separated from the seeds of plants like wheat or barley. Farmers did not keep this useless chaff. F3: If good … innocent   Or, "Bad people will not rise in the place of judgment nor the sinners in the meeting of good people." It is not clear if this verse means that bad people will not become judges, or that bad people will be judged guilty.
