The Tree of Life Is Sweet to the Soul, Verse 19

The book of psalms begins with this concern, to avoid evil company. Verses 21 and 22 should be read as a pearing - they explore the contrasting fates that belong to these two groups. Disaster is like a homing missile on its way towards the sinner. He is doomed. It's only a matter of time. The good that the righteous person establishes can endure. Who are your companions? Those people that you keep company with will shape your character. Likewise those who associate with fools. You can tell a lot about people by their friends and the company that they keep. Do not be deceived. Bad company ruins good morals.
