2 Samuel 12:14

Nonetheless, because you have treated the Lord with such contempt ¹  in this matter, the son who has been born to you will certainly die.”

But because by doing this you have made the enemies of the LORD show utter contempt, the son born to you will die."

"However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die."

But you have given the enemies of the LORD great opportunity to despise and blaspheme him, so your child will die."

But because of your blasphemous behavior, the son born to you will die."

But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.

Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly scorned the LORD, the child that is born to you shall die."

"However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."

Nonetheless, because you have treated the Lord with such contempt ¹  in this matter, the son who has been born to you will certainly die.”

¹ tc The MT has here “because you have caused the enemies of the Lord to treat the Lord with such contempt.” This is one of the so-called tiqqune sopherim, or “emendations of the scribes.” According to this ancient tradition, the scribes changed the text in order to soften somewhat the negative light in which David was presented. If that is the case, the MT reflects the altered text. The present translation departs from the MT here. Elsewhere the Piel stem of this verb means “treat with contempt,” but never “cause someone to treat with contempt.”
