b'2 Samuel 23:1-7 (ESV)
\\n23\\xa0Now these are the last words of David:
\\nThe oracle of David, the son of Jesse,
\\nthe oracle of the man who was raised on high,
\\nthe anointed of the God of Jacob,
\\nthe sweet psalmist of Israel:
\\n2\\xa0 \\u201cThe Spirit of the Lord speaks by me;
\\nhis word is on my tongue.
\\n3\\xa0 The God of Israel has spoken;
\\nthe Rock of Israel has said to me:
\\nWhen one rules justly over men,
\\nruling in the fear of God,
\\n4\\xa0 he dawns on them like the morning light,
\\nlike the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning,
\\nlike rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.
\\n5\\xa0 \\u201cFor does not my house stand so with God?
\\nFor he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
\\nordered in all things and secure.
\\nFor will he not cause to prosper
\\nall my help and my desire?
\\n6\\xa0 But worthless men are all like thorns that are thrown away,
\\nfor they cannot be taken with the hand;
\\n7\\xa0 but the man who touches them
\\narms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear,
\\nand they are utterly consumed with fire.\\u201d
