The righteous and the sinful may be separated by the path they choose. Psalm 1 sees two paths laid out for man, "ruin's way" where "wicked counsel leads," or the way of God.

The KJV "has too many inaccuracies because [it is] just too old" (38:31~38:42) and it is "one of the worst study bibles that you can go to; if you want to know what the authors of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and the New Testament were trying to communicate, the King James is not a good study bible" (60:41~60:57).
