2 Samuel 23:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ As the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, shineth in the morning without clouds, and as the grass springeth out of the earth by rain.

⁵ Neither is my house so great with God, that he should make with me an eternal covenant, firm in all things and assured. For he is all my salvation, and all my will: neither is there ought thereof that springeth not up.

⁶ But transgressors shall all of them be plucked up as thorns: which are not taken away with hands.
