⁵ That is how God will bless my descendants.
He has made a promise to me that will continue for ever.
    It is a strong promise that will never change.
I know that he will always help me.
    He will do for me everything that I hope for.
⁶ But God will remove all wicked people.
    He will throw them away like weeds.
They are like thorn bushes
    that you cannot pull out with your hands.
⁷ You need an iron tool or a spear to remove them.
    Then you burn them completely in a fire.’
