ત્યારે એ સરદારે ઈશ્વરભક્તને કહ્યું, “જો, યહોવાહ આકાશમાં બારીઓ કરે, તોપણ શું આ બાબત બની શકે ખરી?” એલિશાએ કહ્યું હતું, “જો, તું તે તારી પોતાની આંખે જોશે, પણ એમાંનું કશું ખાવા પામશે નહિ.”

और उस सरदार ने परमेश्वर के भक्त को, उत्तर देकर कहा था, “सुन चाहे यहोवा आकाश में झरोखे खोले तो भी क्या ऐसी बात हो सकेगी?” और उसने कहा था, “सुन, तू यह अपनी आँखों से तो देखेगा, परन्तु उस अन्न में से खाने न पाएगा।”

18It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”

19and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”

20It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.
