2 Samuel 23:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 Is not my house firm before God?
He has made an eternal covenant with me,
set forth in detail and secured.(A)
Will he not bring to fruition
all my salvation and my every desire?
6 But the wicked are all like thorns to be cast away;
they cannot be taken up by hand.(B)
7 One wishing to touch them
must be armed with iron or the shaft of a spear.
They must be utterly consumed by fire.
2 Samuel 23:5-7
New International Version
2 Samuel 23:5-7
New International Version
5 “If my house were not right with God,
surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,(A)
arranged and secured in every part;
surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation
and grant me my every desire.
6 But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,(B)
which are not gathered with the hand.
7 Whoever touches thorns
uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear;
they are burned up where they lie.”
