2 Kings 8:10-12
Modern English Version
10 And Elisha said to him, “Go, say to him, ‘You will certainly recover,’ but the Lord has shown me that he will certainly die.” 11 Hazael stared at him until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
12 Hazael said, “Why are you weeping, my lord?”
He said, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their fortresses on fire. You will kill their young men with the sword. You will smash their children and rip open their pregnant women.”

10 Elisha answered, “Go and say to him, ‘You will certainly recover.’(A) Nevertheless,[a] the Lord has revealed to me that he will in fact die.” 11 He stared at him with a fixed gaze until Hazael was embarrassed.(B) Then the man of God began to weep.(C)
12 “Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael.
“Because I know the harm(D) you will do to the Israelites,” he answered. “You will set fire to their fortified places, kill their young men with the sword, dash(E) their little children(F) to the ground, and rip open(G) their pregnant women.”
