2 Samuel 23:4-6

English Standard Version

⁵ “For does not my house stand so with God?
    ^(B)For he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
    ordered in all things and secure.
For will he not cause to prosper
    all my help and my desire?
⁶ But worthless men^[b] are all like thorns that are thrown away,
    for they cannot be taken with the hand;
