Because they cannot be taken in hand;

6“But the wicked and worthless are all to be thrown away like thorns,

Because they cannot be taken with the hand;

6But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside,

for they can never be gathered by hand.

6But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away,

Because they cannot be taken with the hand;

6But the wicked shalbe euery one as thornes thrust away, because they can not be taken with handes.

6But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away,

You can’t pick them up with your hands.

6But God will remove all wicked people.

He will throw them away like weeds.
