2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah,+

And he reads His law in an undertone* day and night.+

 3 He will be like a tree planted by streams of water,

A tree that produces fruit in its season,

The foliage of which does not wither.

3 My son, do not forget my teaching,*

And may your heart observe my commandments,

 2 Because they will add many days

And years of life and peace to you.+

17 The result of true righteousness will be peace,+

And the fruitage of true righteousness will be lasting tranquility and security.+

Then your peace would become just like a river+

And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.+
