3 The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spake to me: One that ruleth over men righteously, That ruleth in the fear of God,
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 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 the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with the hand;
7 But the man that toucheth them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: And they shall be utterly burned with fire in 'their' place.
