2 Samuel 14:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² Then the woman said, ‘Please sir, there is one other thing that I want to tell you.’

King David said, ‘Tell me.’

¹³ The woman said, ‘I think that you have done a wrong thing like this against God's own people. You have not let your own son return to his home. He still lives in a foreign city. Because of what you have said to me, you show that you yourself are guilty. ¹⁴ We must all die one day. When that happens, we are like water that is poured on the ground. We cannot pick it up again. But God does not remove our lives from us. Instead, he finds a way to bring us back to him when we have gone far away.
