who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
or take the path that sinners tread,
or sit in the seat of scoffers. - The human mind plans the way,
but the Lord directs the steps. - So God created humankind in his image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. - Fools show their anger at once,
but the prudent ignore an insult. - Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.
