1 Samuel 24:12-14

Revised Standard Version

¹² May the Lord judge between me and you, may the Lord avenge me upon you; but my hand shall not be against you. ¹³ As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness’; but my hand shall not be against you. ¹⁴ After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog! After a flea!
