SinTruth and honesty
Da sendte Herren Natan til David. Og han kom til ham og sa, "Det var to menn i en by, den ene rik og den andre fattig.

2 Den rike mannen hadde mange flokker og hjorder.

3 Men den fattige mannen hadde ingenting annet enn et lite lam som han hadde kjøpt og oppfostret; og det vokste opp sammen med ham og hans barn. Det spiste av hans brød, og drakk av hans kopp, og lå i hans fang, og var som en datter for ham.
