ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૭:૨
ત્યારે જે સરદારના હાથ પર રાજા અઢેલતો હતો તેણે ઈશ્વરભક્તને કહ્યું, “જો, યહોવાહ આકાશમાં બારીઓ કરે તો પણ શું આ વાત શક્ય છે ખરી?” એલિશાએ કહ્યું, “જો, તું તે તારી આંખોથી જોશે, પણ તેમાંથી ખાવા પામશે નહિ.”
हिन्दी2 राजाओं ७:२
तब उस सरदार ने जिसके हाथ पर राजा तकिया करता था, परमेश्वर के भक्त को उत्तर देकर कहा, “सुन, चाहे यहोवा आकाश के झरोखे खोले, तो भी क्या ऐसी बात हो सकेगी?” उसने कहा, “सुन, तू यह अपनी आँखों से तो देखेगा, परन्तु उस अन्न में से कुछ खाने न पाएगा।”

In context

1Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”

2Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”

3Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?

4If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
