Go and speak to David, saying, Thus says the Lord: I bring three things upon you: choose one of them for yourself, and I will do it to you.

And Gad came to David, and said to him, thus says the Lord, Choose for yourself,

Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in His eyes? You have slain Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and you have taken his wife to be your wife, and you have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and you have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite, to be your wife.

Only because you have given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, your son also that is born to you shall surely die.

and I walked with them with a perverse mind; and I will destroy them in the land of their enemies: then shall their uncircumcised heart be ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in [the punishment of] their sins.

And I will remember the land, and the land shall be left of them; then the land shall enjoy her Sabbaths, when it is deserted through them; and they shall accept [the punishment of] their iniquities, because they neglected My judgments, and in their soul loathed My ordinances.

But blessed is the man whom the Lord has reproved; and reject not the chastening of the Almighty.

for He causes a man to be in pain, and restores him again: He smites, and His hands heal.

for whom the Lord loves, He rebukes, and scourges every son whom He receives.

For whom the LORD loves He disciplines, and scourges every son whom He receives."

But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

For they indeed for a few days were disciplining us, as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, in order to partake of His holiness.

As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent.
