Because they cannot be taken in hand;
Because they cannot be taken in hand;
But the sons of rebellion shall all be as thorns thrust away,
Because they cannot be taken with hands.

But the man who touches them
Must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear,
And they will be completely burned with fire in their place.”
