Names of God Bible

⁵ “Truly, El considers my house to be that way,
    because he has made a lasting promise^[a] to me,
        with every detail arranged and assured.
    He promised everything that helps me,
        everything that pleases me.
Truly, he makes these things happen.

⁶ “Worthless people are like thorns.
    All of them are thrown away, because they cannot be picked by hand.
⁷ A person who touches them uses iron tools
    or the shaft of a spear.
    Fire^[b] will burn them up completely wherever they are.”
