2 Samuel 23:6
Berean Standard Bible
But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside, for they can never be gathered by hand.
Context
4is like the light of the morning
at sunrise of a cloudless dawn,
the glistening after the rain
on the sprouting grass of the earth.’ 5Is not my house right with God?
For He has established with me
an everlasting covenant,
ordered and secured in every part.
Will He not bring about my full salvation
and my every desire? 6But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside,
for they can never be gathered by hand. 7The man who touches them must be armed with iron
or with the shaft of a spear.
The fire burns them to ashes
in the place where they lie.” 8These are the names of David’s mighty men:
Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite * was chief of the Three.* He wielded his spear against * eight hundred men, whom he killed at one time.
