2 Samuel 14:14

14. As water spilt upon the ground “What could be better calculated to gain the attention of a poet like David than the beautiful images which she employs, and which are fully equal to any that he himself ever uttered; and if we, with our comparatively dull intellects, are impressed at once by the exquisite beauty and pathos of this expression, how keenly must it have been appreciated by him the great master of solemn thought and poetical expression? We conceive that we behold him start upon his throne when these words fall upon his ear, and he feels at once that no common woman is before him.” Kitto.

Neither doth God respect any person Rather. God doth not take away life. The reference is to the life of one that has wandered from him: God is merciful, and does not take away his life.

Yet doth he devise means God takes measures to bring back sinners who have departed from him.
