2 Samuel 23:5 BBE

³  The God of Israel said, the word of the Rock of Israel came to me: When an upright king is ruling over men, when he is ruling in the fear of God,

⁴  It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.

⁵  For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?

⁶  But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:

⁷  But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.
