And when the mourning was past, David sent and took her home to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased Jehovah.
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew not this;\par\tab Doth not he that weigheth the hearts consider it?\par\tab And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?\par\tab And shall not he render to every man according to his work?
Yea, truth is lacking; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey.\par\par\tab And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.
Thus saith Jehovah: Execute ye justice and righteousness, and deliver him that is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence, to the sojourner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither shed innocent blood in this place.
Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.
