Psalms 2:11
9 You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”
10 Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
