2 Samuel 23:4-6

American Standard Version

⁴ He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth,
A morning without clouds,
When the tender grass springeth out of the earth,
Through clear shining after rain.
^5 [a]Verily my house is not so with God;
Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant,
Ordered in all things, and sure:
For it is all my salvation, and all my desire,
Although he maketh it not to grow.
⁶ But ^[b]the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away,
Because they cannot be taken with the hand;
