2 Samuel 23:6 in the King James Version
But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
Context
5 Isn’t my house so with God? Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation and all my desire. Won’t he make it grow?
6 But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand.
7 The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
