And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
Men da David så Engelen, som slog Folket, sagde han til HERREN: "Det er mig, der har syndet, mig, der har begået Brøden; men Fårene der, hvad har de gjort? Lad din Hånd dog ramme mig og mit Fædrenehus!"
