2 Samuel 12:7-15
7Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, a‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul. 8And I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your arms and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were too little, I would add to you as much more. 9 bWhy have you despised the word of the Lord, cto do what is evil in his sight? dYou have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and ehave taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ 11Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house. And I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12For you did it secretly, fbut I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun.’” 13 gDavid said to Nathan, h“I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, i“The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly jscorned the Lord, ▼ the child who is born to you shall die.” 15Then Nathan went to his house.David’s Child Dies
And the Lord afflicted the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he became sick.Job 5:17-18

18For he wounds, but he obinds up;
he pshatters, but his hands heal.
Psalms 141:5
5 qLet a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
Yet rmy prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
