2 Kings 4:39-41

39OneH259 of them went outH3318 toH413 the fieldH7704 to gatherH3950 herbsH219, and he foundH4672 a wildH7704 vineH1612 fromH4480 which he gatheredH3950 as many wildH7704H4393 gourdsH6498 as his garmentH899 could hold. Then he came backH935 and cut them upH6398 intoH413 the potH5518 of stewH5138, thoughH3588 no oneH3808 knewH3045 what they were.

40And they poured it outH3332 for the menH582 to eatH398H1961, but when they tastedH398 the stewH5138 theyH1992 cried outH6817H559, “There is deathH4194 in the potH5518, O manH376 of GodH430!” And they could notH3808H3201 eatH398 it.

41Then Elisha saidH559, “GetH3947 some flourH7058.” He threwH7993 it intoH413 the potH5518 and saidH559, “Pour it outH3332 for the peopleH5971 to eatH398.” And there wasH1961 nothingH3808H1697 harmfulH7451 in the potH5518.
