2 Samuel 23:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Truly does not my house stand so with God? For He has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure. For will He not cause to prosper all my help and my desire?

⁶ But wicked, godless, and worthless lives are all like thorns to be thrust away, because they cannot be taken with the hand.

⁷ But the man who touches them arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear, and they are utterly consumed with fire on the spot.
