13 If it pleases my father to do you harm, (A)may the Lord do so to [a]me and more so, if I fail to [b]inform you and send you away, so that you may go in safety. And (B)may the Lord be with you as He has been with my father. 14 And if I am still alive, will you not show me the faithfulness of the Lord, so that I do not die? 15 And (C)you shall never cut off your loyalty to my house, not even when the Lord cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”
