9. Why have you despised the word of Yahweh by doing evil in his eyes? Uriah the Hittite you have struck down with the sword, and his wife you have taken to yourself as wife! You have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites!
10. So then, a sword will not turn away from your house forever, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife!’
11. Thus says Yahweh, ‘Look, I am going to raise up evil against you from within your house, and I will take your women before your eyes, and I will give them to your neighbor, and he shall sleep with your wives in broad daylight.
12. Though you did this in secret, I will do this thing before all of Israel in broad daylight!’ ”
13. Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yahweh!” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has also forgiven your sin; you shall not die.
14. But because you have utterly scorned Yahweh in this matter, the son born for you will certainly die.”
15. Then Nathan went to his house, and Yahweh struck the child that the wife of Uriah bore for David, and he became ill.
