American Standard Version

2 Samuel 23:5-7 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. Verily my house is not so with God; Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all my desire, Although he maketh it not to grow.

6. But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with the hand;

7. But the man that toucheth them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.
