2 Samuel 23:5-7

New King James Version

⁵ “Although my house is not so with God,
^(A)Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant,
Ordered in all things and secure.
For this is all my salvation and all my desire;
Will He not make it increase?
⁶ But the sons of rebellion shall all be as thorns thrust away,
Because they cannot be taken with hands.
⁷ But the man who touches them
Must be ^[a]armed with iron and the shaft of a spear,
And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
