Leviticus 19:17

17 a“You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but byou shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you cincur sin because of him.

2 Samuel 12:7-14

7Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, d‘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 eWhy have you despised the word of the Lord, fto do what is evil in his sight? gYou have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and hhave 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, ibut I will do this thing before all Israel and before the sun.’” 13 jDavid said to Nathan, k“I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, l“The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die. 14Nevertheless, because by this deed you have utterly mscorned the Lord, ▼
▼Masoretic Text  the enemies of the Lord; Dead Sea Scroll  the word of the Lord
 the child who is born to you shall die.”

1 Kings 1:23

23And they told the king, “Here is Nathan the prophet.” And when he came in before the king, he bowed before the king, with his face to the ground.

1 Kings 1:32

32King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.

Psalms 141:5

5 oLet 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 pmy prayer is continually against their evil deeds.

Proverbs 13:18

18Poverty and disgrace come to him who qignores instruction,
rbut whoever sheeds reproof is honored.
