2 Samuel 23:5-7

New Life Version

⁵ In truth, does not my house stand right with God? For He has made an agreement with me that lasts forever. It is planned right in all things, and sure. For will He not make all my help and my desire grow? ⁶ But those of no worth are all like thorns that are thrown away, because they cannot be taken with the hand. ⁷ The man who touches them must be covered with iron and have a spear. All of them will be burned up with fire as they sit.”
