2 Kings 8:11-13
11He 1fixed his gaze steadily on him 2until he was ashamed, and 3the man of God wept.
12Hazael said, “Why does my lord weep?” Then he 4answered, “Because 5I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel: their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword, and their little ones you 6will dash in pieces, and their women with child you will rip up.”
13Then Hazael said, “But what is your servant, 7who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?” And Elisha 8answered, “9The Lord has shown me that you will be king over Aram.”
