2 Samuel 23:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 Like the light of the morning when the sun rises, shining with no clouds, bringing vegetation from the earth apart from rain.’[a] 5 Yet not so is my house with God, for he made an everlasting covenant for me, arranging everything. He has secured all my deliverance, and all my desire he will cause to happen. 6 But evil persons are like thorns cast aside; all of them, because they cannot be picked up in the hand.

2 Samuel 23:4-6
New International Version
4 he is like the light(A) of morning(B) at sunrise(C)
on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain(D)
that brings grass from the earth.’
5 “If my house were not right with God,
surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,(E)
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,(F)
which are not gathered with the hand.
