2 Samuel 12:10-14 ▼

10 |'Therefore the sword will never leave your household, because you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.'

11 |This is what the LORD says: |'Listen very carefully! |'I'm raising up evil against you right out of your own household. |'I'm going to take your wives away from you right before your eyes. |'Then I'll give them to your neighbor. |'And then he's going to have sex with your wives in broad daylight!

12 |'What you did in secret I'm going to do right in front of all Israel and in broad daylight as well!'|

13 At this point, David told Nathan, |I have sinned against the LORD.| Nathan responded to David, |There's one other thing: the LORD has forgiven your sin. You won't die.

14 Nevertheless, because you have despised the LORD's enemies with utter contempt, the son born to you will most certainly die.|
