2 Samuel 23:5-7
English Standard Version
2 Samuel 23:5-7
English Standard Version
5 “For does not my house stand so with God?
(A)For he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
ordered in all things and secure.
For will he not cause to prosper
all my help and my desire?
6 But worthless men[a] are all like thorns that are thrown away,
for they cannot be taken with the hand;
7 but the man who touches them
arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear,
and they are utterly consumed with fire.”[b]
