2 Kings 7:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Now there were four lepers, at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another: What mean we to stay here till we die?

⁴ If we will enter into the city, we shall die with the famine: and if we will remain here, we must also die: come, therefore, and let us run over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare us, we shall live: but if they kill us, we shall but die.

⁵ So they arose in the evening, to go to the Syrian camp, And when they were come to the first part of the camp of the Syrians, they found no man there.
