2 Samuel 12:10-14

English Standard Version

¹⁰ Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ ¹¹ Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house. And I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. ¹² For you did it secretly, ^(A)but I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun.’” ^13 (B)David said to Nathan, ^(C)“I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, ^(D)“The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die. ¹⁴ Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly ^(E)scorned the Lord,^[a] the child who is born to you shall die.”
