2 Samuel 12:1-5
1Then the LordH3068 sentH7971 1NathanH5416 to DavidH1732. And 2he cameH935 to him and 3saidH559, “There were twoH8147 menH376 in a cityH5892, the oneH259 wealthyH6223 and the otherH259 poorH7326.2The wealthyH6223 manH6223 hadH1961 a greatH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241.3But the poorH7326 man had nothingH369 at allH3605 exceptH3588H518 4oneH259 littleH6996 eweH3535 lambH3535 WhichH834 he boughtH7069 and nurturedH2421; And it grewH1431 upH1431 togetherH3164 with him and his childrenH1121. It would eatH398 5scrapsH6595 from him and drinkH8354 from his cupH3563 and lieH7901 6in his lapH2436, And was like a daughterH1323 to him.4Now a visitorH1982 cameH935 to the wealthyH6223 manH376, And he couldH2550 not bringH2550 himselfH2550 to takeH3947 any animal from his own flockH6629 or his own herdH1241, To prepareH6213 for the travelerH732 who had comeH935 to him; So he tookH3947 the poorH7326 man’sH376 eweH3535 lambH3535 and preparedH6213 it for the manH376 who had comeH935 to him.” 5Then David’sH1732 angerH639 burnedH2734 greatlyH3966 against the manH376, and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, “As the LordH3068 livesH2416, the manH376 who has doneH6213 thisH2088 certainlyH3588 78deservesH1121 to dieH4194!
