2 Samuel 14:14

For we must needs die, and [are] as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect [any] person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.

For we must needs {H4191} die {H4191}, and are as water {H4325} spilt {H5064} on the ground {H776}, which cannot be gathered up again {H622}; neither doth God {H430} respect {H5375} any person {H5315}: yet doth he devise {H2803} means {H4284}, that his banished {H5080} be not expelled {H5080} from him.

For we will all die someday; we'll be like water spilled on the ground that can't be gathered up again; and God makes no exception for anyone. The king should think of some way to keep the son he banished from being forever an outcast.

For surely we will die and be like water poured out on the ground, which cannot be recovered. Yet God does not take away a life; but He devises ways that the banished one may not be cast out from Him.

For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God take away life, but deviseth means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from him.
