2 Samuel 23:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

⁷ And if a man will touch them, he must be armed with iron and with the staff of a lance: but they shall be set on fire and burnt to nothing.
