So David said to God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.

Then David spoke to Jehovah when he saw the Angel who was striking the people, and said, Surely I have sinned, and I have committed iniquity; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father's house.

Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done evil in Your sight; that You might be found just when You speak, and pure when You judge.

so that you may remember and be ashamed. And you will never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide atonement for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord Jehovah.

Then he said, I have seen all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep having no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.

You have given us up like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.

Again the anger of Jehovah burned against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.

Yet now, if You will, take away their sin; and if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.

I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

By this we know the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

you shall not bow down to them nor serve them; for I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous Mighty God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

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

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue shall shout aloud of Your righteousness.

And some of your sons which shall come forth from you, which you shall beget, shall be taken away; and they shall be officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The Word of Jehovah which you have spoken is good. For he said, At least there shall be peace and truth in my days.

but that you must turn away this day from following Jehovah? And it shall be, if you rebel today against Jehovah, that tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
