2 Kings 8:10-12

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁰ Elisha told him, ‘Go and say to him, “You are sure to^[a] recover.” But the Lord has shown me that he is sure to die.’ ¹¹ Then he stared steadily at him until he was ashamed.^(A)

The man of God wept,^{(B) 12} and Hazael asked, ‘Why is my lord weeping? ’

He replied, ‘Because I know the evil you will do to the people of Israel. You will set their fortresses on fire. You will kill their young men with the sword. You will dash their children to pieces. You will rip open their pregnant women.’^(C)
