1Then ElishaH477 saidH559, “HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068! This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘About this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 at the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111, a seahH5429 of fine flourH55601 will sell for a shekelH8255,2 and two seahsH5429 of barleyH81843 will sell for a shekelH8255.’”
2But the officerH7991 onH5921 whose armH3027 the kingH4428 leanedH8172 answeredH6030 the manH376 of GodH430, “LookH2009, even if the LORDH3068 were to makeH6213 windowsH699 in heavenH8064, could thisH2088 really happenH1961?”
“You will seeH7200 it with your own eyesH5869,” repliedH559H2005 Elisha, “but you will not eatH3808H398 any of itH8033.”
