II Samuel 12:22

22 Davi respondeu: - Enquanto a criança ainda estava viva, jejuei e chorei, porque dizia: ´Talvez o Senhor se compadeça de mim, e a criança continuará viva.`

22 And he said, While the child was still living I went without food and gave myself up to weeping: for I said, Who is able to say that the Lord will not have mercy on me and give the child life?
