2 Samuel 12:22-23

New King James Version

²² And he said, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept; ^(A)for I said, ‘Who can tell whether ^[a]the Lord will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ ²³ But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go ^(B)to him, but ^(C)he shall not return to me.”
