2 Samuel 23:2-7
2“1The SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 spokeH1696 by me, And His wordH4405 was on my tongueH3956.3The GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, 2The RockH6697 of IsraelH3478 spokeH1696 to me, ‘3He who rulesH4910 over menH120 righteouslyH6662, 4Who rulesH4910 in the fearH3374 of GodH430,45Is as the lightH216 of the morningH1242 when the sunH8121 risesH2224, A morningH1242 withoutH3808 cloudsH5645, When the tenderH1877 grassH1877 springs out of the earthH776, ThroughH4480 sunshineH5051 afterH4480 rainH4306.’5TrulyH3588 is not my houseH1004 soH3651 with GodH410? For 6He has madeH7760 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with me, OrderedH6186 in allH3605 thingsH3605, and securedH8104; For allH3605 my salvationH3468 and allH3605 my desireH2656, Will He not indeedH3588 make it growH6779?67But the worthlessH1100, everyH3605 oneH3605 of them will be thrustH5074 awayH5074 like thornsH6975, BecauseH3588 they cannotH3808 be takenH3947 in handH3027;7But the manH376 who touchesH5060 them Must be 8armedH4390 with ironH1270 and the shaftH6086 of a spearH2595, And 9they will be completelyH8313 burnedH8313 with fireH784 in their 10placeH7675.”
