2 Samuel 12:22-23

New International Version

²² He answered, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, ‘Who knows?^(A) The Lord may be gracious to me and let the child live.’^{(B) 23} But now that he is dead, why should I go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him,^(C) but he will not return to me.”^(D)
