2 Samuel 14:13-14
New International Version
13 The woman said, “Why then have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the king says this, does he not convict himself,(A) for the king has not brought back his banished son?(B) 14 Like water(C) spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die.(D) But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person(E) does not remain banished from him.

King James Version
2 Samuel 14:13-14
King James Version
13 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
