2 Kings 8:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ And Eli′sha said to him, “Go, say to him, ‘You shall certainly recover’; but the Lord has shown me that he shall certainly die.” ¹¹ And he fixed his gaze and stared at him, until he was ashamed. And the man of God wept. ¹² And Haz′ael said, “Why does my lord weep?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the people of Israel; you will set on fire their fortresses, and you will slay their young men with the sword, and dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child.”
