2 Samuel 23:6-7

6 But worthless men ^{▼▼Hebrew worthlessness} are all like thorns that are thrown away,
for they cannot be taken with the hand;
7 but the man who touches them
arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear,
and they are utterly consumed with fire.” ^{▼▼Hebrew consumed with fire in the sitting}

4 The best of them is ^clike a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of ^dyour watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
^enow their confusion is at hand.

2 For you yourselves are fully aware that ^fthe day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then ^gsudden destruction will come upon them ^has labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
