2 Samuel 12:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 “But the poor man had nothing except (A)one little ewe lamb
Which he bought and nourished;
And it grew up together with him and his children.
It would eat of his [a]bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom,
And was like a daughter to him.
4 “Now a traveler came to the rich man,
And he [b]was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd,
To prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him;
Rather he took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
5 Then David’s anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the Lord lives, surely the man who has done this [c](B)deserves to die.
