2 Samuel 12:21-23

21Then his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 thingH1697 that you have doneH6213? You fastedH6684 and weptH1058 for the childH3206 while he was 1aliveH2416; but whenH3512 the childH3206 diedH4191, you gotH6965 upH6965 and ateH398 foodH3899.” 22And he saidH559, “While the childH3206 was stillH5750 aliveH2416, 2I fastedH6684 and weptH1058; for I saidH559, ‘3WhoH4310 knowsH3045, the LordH3068 may beH2603 graciousH2603 to me, and the childH3206 may liveH2416.’ 23But nowH6258 he has diedH4191; whyH4100 should I fastH6684? CanH3201 I bringH7725 him backH7725 againH5750? 4I am goingH1980 to him, but 5he will not returnH7725 to me.”
