2 Kings 7:3-5

Modern English Version

The Arameans Flee

³ There were four leprous men at the entry of the gate, and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die? ⁴ If we say, ‘Let us enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. But if we sit here, we die also. Now come, let us fall into the camp of the Arameans. If they spare our lives, we will live, and if they kill us, we will die.”

⁵ So they rose at twilight to enter the camp of the Arameans. When they came to the edge of the camp of the Arameans, there was no one there.
