2 Samuel 12:23
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
KJV
Nunc autem quia mortuus est, quare jejunem ? numquid potero revocare eum amplius ? ego vadam magis ad eum : ille vero non revertetur ad me.
Vulgate
καὶ νῦν τέθνηκεν, ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἐγὼ νηστεύω; μὴ δυνήσομαι αὐτὸ ἐπιστρέψαι ἔτι; ἐγὼ πορεύσομαι πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ αὐτὸς οὐκ ἀναστρέψει πρὸς μέ.
LXX
But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
