2 Kings 4:2-7

2And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto her, What shall I doH6213 for thee? tellH5046 me, what hastH3426 thou in the houseH1004? And she saidH559, Thine handmaidH8198 hath not any thing in the houseH1004, save a jarH610 of oilH8081.

3Then he saidH559, GoH3212, borrowH7592 thee vesselsH3627 abroadH2351 of all thy neighboursH7934, even emptyH7386 vesselsH3627; borrow not a fewH4591.1

4And when thou art come inH935, thou shalt shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon thee and upon thy sonsH1121, and shalt pour outH3332 into all those vesselsH3627, and thou shalt set asideH5265 that which is fullH4392.

5So she wentH3212 from him, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon her and uponH1157 her sonsH1121, whoH1992 broughtH5066 the vessels to her; and she poured outH3332.

6And it came to pass, when the vesselsH3627 were fullH4390, that she saidH559 unto her sonH1121, BringH5066 me yet a vesselH3627. And he saidH559 unto her, There is not a vesselH3627 more. And the oilH8081 stayedH5975.

7Then she cameH935 and toldH5046 the manH376 of GodH430. And he saidH559, GoH3212, sellH4376 the oilH8081, and payH7999 thy debtH5386, and liveH2421 thou and thy childrenH1121 of the restH3498.2
