3 A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
3 No one can be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.
3 No one is established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved.
3 You can't find firm footing in a swamp, but life rooted in God stands firm.
3 A man is not established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous cannot be moved.
3 Wickedness never brings stability, but the godly have deep roots.
