Common English Bible

¹⁰ Go and tell David, This is what the Lord says: I’m offering you three punishments. Choose one of them, and that is what I will do to you.

¹¹ When Gad came to David, he said to him, “This is what the Lord says: Take your choice: ¹² three years of famine, three months of fleeing^[a] from your enemies while your enemies’ sword overtakes you, or three days of the Lord’s sword, that is, plague in the land and the Lord’s messenger bringing disaster in every part of Israel. Decide now what answer I should take back to the one who sent me.”
