Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁴ Therefore, this is what the Lord says: You will not get up from your sick-bed; you will certainly die.” ’ Then Elijah left.

⁵ The messengers returned to the king, who asked them, ‘Why have you come back? ’

⁶ They replied, ‘A man came to meet us and said, “Go back to the king who sent you and declare to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you’re sending these men to enquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, you will not get up from your sick-bed; you will certainly die.’ ” ’
