我必毁坏冬天和夏天的别墅，用象牙装饰的房子必破烂，宏伟的楼宇必归于无有。”这是耶和华的宣告。

万国的王啊！谁敢不敬畏你呢？这是你应得的。因为在列国所有的智慧人中，以及在他们的全国里，没有可以跟你相比的。

神的众子啊！要归给耶和华，你们要把荣耀和能力归给耶和华。（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）

听啊！耶和华向这城呼叫，敬畏你的名就是智慧；支派和城里的会众啊！你们要听。

“你去告诉大卫说：‘耶和华这样说：我给你三个选择，你要选择一个，我好向你施行。’”

耶和华差派拿单去见大卫。于是拿单来到大卫那里，对他说：“在一座城里有两个人，一个富有，一个贫穷。那富有的有极多牛羊，那贫穷的除了买来养的一只母羊羔以外，什么也没有。那小羊在他家里和他的儿女一同长大，小羊吃他的食物，喝他杯中的饮料，睡在他的怀里，就像他的女儿一样。有一个旅客来到富翁那里，他舍不得从自己的牛群羊群中取一头出来，款待到他那里来的旅客，却取了那穷人的母羊羔，款待到他那里来的客人。”大卫就非常恼怒那人，对拿单说：“我指着永活的耶和华起誓，作这事的人该死。他必须四倍赔偿这羊羔，因为他作了这事，又因他没有怜悯的心。”拿单对大卫说：“你就是那人！耶和华以色列的神这样说：‘我膏立了你作以色列的王，把你从扫罗的手里救了出来，把你主人的家赐给你，把你主人的妻妾交在你怀里，又把以色列和犹大家赐给你。如果太少了，我还可以多多加给你。你为什么藐视耶和华的话，行他看为恶的事呢？你用刀击杀了赫人乌利亚，娶了他的妻子作你的妻子，你藉着亚扪人的刀杀了乌利亚。所以，从今以后，刀剑必不离开你的家，因为你藐视了我，娶了赫人乌利亚的妻子作你的妻子。’耶和华这样说：‘看哪！我必从你家中兴起祸患攻击你；我要在你的眼前把你的妃嫔拿去赐给你的同伴。他要在光天化日之下与她们同床。你在暗中行了这事，我却要在所有以色列人面前，在光天化日之下行这事报应你。’”大卫对拿单说：“我得罪了耶和华了。”拿单对大卫说：“耶和华已经除去了你的罪，你必不至于死。只是因为你作了这事，使耶和华的仇敌大得亵渎的机会，所以你所生的儿子必定死。”于是拿单回自己的家去了。耶和华击打乌利亚的妻子给大卫所生的孩子，他就害了重病。
