1 Samuel 24:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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?

¹⁵ After whom dost thou pursue? After a dead dog, after a flea.

¹⁶ Be the Lord judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and judge my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.
