2 Samuel 12:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing in the sight of all Israel, and in the sight of the sun.

¹³ And David said to Nathan: I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said to David: The Lord also hath taken away thy sin: thou shalt not die.

¹⁴ Nevertheless, because thou hast given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, for this thing, the child that is born to thee, shall surely die.
