2 Samuel 14:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² The woman said, “Please let me say something else to you.”

“Speak,” he said.

¹³ “Why have you devised something like this against God’s people?” she said. “When you say this, you condemn yourself because you haven’t brought back the one you banished! ¹⁴ We are all going to die; we are all like water that is poured on the ground and can’t be gathered up. But doesn’t God forgive a person? He never plans to keep a banished person in exile.
