2 Samuel 23:5-7
Evangelical Heritage Version

5 But my house is not like this with God.[a]
Nevertheless, he has made an everlasting covenant with me,
    completely ordered and secure.
Certainly he will make it spring up for my salvation, to fulfill my desires.[b]
6 Worthless, wicked men are all like thorns to be thrown away.
No one even picks them up with his hand.
7 Anyone who touches them uses an iron tool or the shaft of a spear.
They are completely burned up in the fire, right where they are.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Samuel 23:5 Many translations convert this line to a question: Isn’t my house like this with God? It seems best to leave it as a confession of the unworthiness of David and his dynasty.
  2. 2 Samuel 23:5 The verse is difficult.
