1 Samuel 24:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Moreover see and know, O my father, the hem of thy robe in my hand, that when I cut, off the hem of thy robe, I would not put out my hand against thee. Reflect, and see, that there is no evil in my hand, nor iniquity, neither have I sinned against thee: but thou liest in wait for my life, to take it away.

¹³ The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord revenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee.

¹⁴ As also it is said in the old proverb: From the wicked shall wickedness come forth: therefore my hand shall not be upon thee. After whom dost thou come out, O king of Israel?
