ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૪:૧૨
ઈશ્વર મારી તથા તમારી વચ્ચે ન્યાય કરો અને ઈશ્વર મારું વેર તમારા પર વાળો, પણ મારો હાથ તમારી સામે નહિ જ પડે.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २४:१२
यहोवा मेरा और तेरा न्याय करे, और यहोवा तुझ से मेरा बदला ले; परन्तु मेरा हाथ तुझ पर न उठेगा।

In context

10Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s anointed.’

11Moreover, my father, behold, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe and didn’t kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.

12May the LORD judge between me and you, and may the LORD avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

13As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness;’ but my hand will not be on you.

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