2 Kings 1:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ But they answered him: A man met us, and said to us: Go, and return to the king, that sent you, and you shall say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that thou sendest to Beelzebub the god of Accaron? Therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed, on which thou art gone up, but then shalt surely die.

⁷ And he said to them: What manner of man was he who met you, and spoke these words?

⁸ But they said: A hairy man with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said: It is Elias the Thesbite.
