• 2 Samuel 23:3, 4
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    •  3 The God of Israel spoke;

      To me the Rock of Israel+ said:

      ‘When the one ruling over mankind is righteous,+

      Ruling in the fear of God,+

       4 It is like the morning light when the sun shines,+

      A morning without clouds.

      It is like the brightness after the rain,

      Making grass sprout from the earth.’+
