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]

¹⁰ For they are ^(A)like entangled thorns,
    like drunkards as they drink;
    ^(B)they are consumed like stubble fully dried.
