¹¹ See, my father, look at the corner of your robe in my hand. For I cut it off, but I did not kill you. Know and see that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands. I have not sinned against you, even though you are hunting me down to take my life.

¹² May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD take vengeance on you, but my hand will never be against you.

¹³ As the old proverb says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand will never be against you.

¹⁴ Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea?

¹⁵ May the LORD be our judge and decide between you and me. May He take notice and plead my case and deliver me from your hand.”
