2 Samuel 23:5-7

The Voice

⁵     Isn’t this how God has raised up my house?
        Because He has made a perpetual covenant with me,
        well-ordered and secure,
    Won’t He make all things to grow and prosper,
        save me, and give me all I desire?
⁶     But the wicked are like thorns cut off and tossed away
        that can’t be picked up with your hands;
⁷     No, to touch them, use the iron tip
        on the shaft of a spear.
        They are burned up on the spot.
