2 Samuel 23:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ “This is how God has cared for my family.
    God made a lasting agreement with me,
    good in every way and strong.
This agreement is my salvation.
    This agreement is all I want.
    Truly, the Lord will make it grow.

⁶ “But all evil people will be thrown away like thorns.
    People cannot hold on to thorns.
⁷ Anyone who touches them
    uses a tool of iron or a spear.
They will be thrown in the fire and burned where they lie.”
