Is this moral?

2 Sam 12:11 Thus says the Lord: I will raise up trouble against you from within your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this very sun.

It says "I will take your wives..." Is God setting up a bunch of women to be raped or is there a better interpretation.

If you read this verse in it's complete context God is telling David that in the Manor David took Uriah's wife, (Bathsheba) He will deliver this woman (And the rest) in a similar manner to another. If your familiar with the story of David and Bathsheba you should know David did not "Take" as in rape Bathsheba (Uriah's wife.) He seduced Her, or She Him..

God is saying He will have one of David's friends or neighbors seduce her (And the rest) away from him as He did to Uriah.

9 Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. 10 Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.'
11 "This is what the LORD says: 'Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity upon you. Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight. 12 You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.' "

Is it moral? "And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments." Rev 16:5-7

Who and what God is, IS the very definition of good. Ultimately, we each either agree and become willing to change to accommodate Him, or else we will be given the opportunity to tell Him just how wrong He is, to His face. Please note that at that time, the Sun and all the stars of heaven will flee from before Him, and there won't be found any room for them.

"And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?" Rev 6:15-17
