2 Samuel 23:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Even as the morning light when the sun riseth, the morning, I say, without clouds, so shall mine house be, and not as the [a]grass of the earth is by the bright rain.
5 For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, perfect in all points, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it [b]grow so.
6 But the wicked shall be every one as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands.
