The Judgment on David’s Sin^(A)

¹⁰ And ^(B)David’s heart condemned him after he had numbered the people. So ^(C)David said to the Lord, ^(D)“I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Lord, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have ^(E)done very foolishly.”

¹⁷ Then David spoke to the Lord when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, “Surely ^(A)I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father’s house.”
