¶The wicked [those who live in disobedience to God’s law] are not so, But they are like the chaff [worthless and without substance] which the wind blows away.

For the LORD knows and fully approves the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalms 1:4-6 The Passion Translation (TPT)
But how different are the wicked. They are like chaff blown away by the wind. The wicked will not endure the day of judgment, for God will not defend them.

The Lord embraces their paths as they move forward while the way of the wicked leads only to doom.
