2 Samuel 12:12-14

Living Bible

¹² You did it secretly, but I will do this to you openly, in the sight of all Israel.’”

¹³ “I have sinned against the Lord,” David confessed to Nathan.

Then Nathan replied, “Yes, but the Lord has forgiven you, and you won’t die for this sin. ¹⁴ But you have given great opportunity to the enemies of the Lord to despise and blaspheme him, so your child shall die.”
