2 Kings 4:38-41

38And ElishaH477 came again to GilgalH1537. And there was a dearth in the landH776; and the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 were sittingH3427 before him; and he saidH559 unto his servantH5288, Set on the greatH1419 potH5518, and boilH1310 pottage for the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030. 39And oneH259 wentH3318 out into the fieldH7704 to gatherH3950 herbs, and foundH4672 a wild vineH1612, and gatheredH3950 thereof wild gourds his lap full, and cameH935 and shred them into the potH5518 of pottage; for they knewH3045 them not. 40So they pouredH3332 out for the menH376 to eatH398. And it came to pass, as they wereH1961 eatingH398 of the pottage, that they criedH6817 out, and saidH559, O manH376 of GodH430, there is deathH4194 in the potH5518. And they could not eatH398 thereof. 41But he saidH559, Then bring meal. And he castH7993 it into the potH5518; and he saidH559, PourH3332 out for the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398. And there wasH1961 no harmH7451 in the potH5518.
