2 Samuel 23:2-7

2The SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 spoke throughH1696 me; His wordH4405 was onH5921 my tongueH3956.3The GodH430 of IsraelH3478 spokeH559; the RockH6697 of IsraelH3478 saidH1696 to me, ‘He who rulesH4910 the peopleH120 with justiceH6662, who rulesH4910 in the fearH3374 of GodH430,4is like the lightH216 of the morningH1242 at sunriseH8121H2224 of a cloudlessH3808H5645 dawnH1242, the glisteningH5051 after the rainH4306 on the sprouting grassH1877 of the earthH776.’

5Is notH3808 my houseH1004 rightH3651 withH5973 GodH410?ForH3588 He has establishedH7760 with mean everlastingH5769 covenantH1285,orderedH6186 and securedH8104H3588 in every partH3605.Will He notH3808 bring aboutH6779 my fullH3605 salvationH3468and my everyH3605 desireH2656H3588?
6But the worthlessH1100 are allH3605 like thornsH6975 raked asideH5074,forH3588 they can neverH3808 be gatheredH3947 by handH3027.7The manH376 who touchesH5060 them must be armedH4390 with ironH1270or with the shaftH6086 of a spearH2595.The fireH784 burns them to ashesH8313in the placeH7675 where they lie.”
