2 Kings 8:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ Elisha replied, “Tell him that he will get better, although the Lord has shown me that he is actually going to die.” ¹¹ He stared at him until he became embarrassed. Then the man of God began to cry.

¹² “Sir, why are you crying?” Hazael asked.

Elisha answered, “I know the evil you will do to the Israelites: You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their best young men, smash their little children, and rip open their pregnant women.”
