*
So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel ,
and seventy thousand men of Israel fell .
*
And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it .
As he was destroying ,
the LORD looked and relented of the disaster ,
and said to the angel who was destroying , "
It is enough ;
now restrain your hand ."
And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite .
*
Then David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven ,
having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem .
So David and the elders ,
clothed in sackcloth ,
fell on their faces .
*
And David said to God , "
Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered ?
I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed ;
but these sheep ,
what have they done ?
Let Your hand ,
I pray ,
O LORD my God ,
be against me and my father '
s house ,
but not against Your people that they should be plagued ."
