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? But those of no worth are all like thorns that are thrown away, because they cannot be taken with the hand. 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.”

“If my house were not right with God,
    surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,(A)
    arranged and secured in every part;
surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation
    and grant me my every desire.
But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,(B)
    which are not gathered with the hand.
Whoever touches thorns
    uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear;
    they are burned up where they lie.”
