Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”

ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૮:૧૨
હઝાએલે પૂછ્યું, “મારા માલિક, તું કેમ રડે છે?” તેણે કહ્યું, “કેમ કે, તું ઇઝરાયલી લોકો સાથે જે દુષ્ટતા કરવાનો છે તે હું જાણું છું માટે. તેઓના કિલ્લાઓને તું બાળી મૂકીશ, તેઓના જુવાનોની તું તલવારથી કતલ કરીશ, તેઓના બાળકોને તું જોરથી પછાડીને ટુકડાં કરીશ અને તેઓની ગર્ભવતી સ્ત્રીઓને તું ચીરી નાખીશ.”
हिन्दी2 राजाओं ८:१२
तब हजाएल ने पूछा, “मेरा प्रभु क्यों रोता है?” उसने उत्तर दिया, “इसलिए कि मुझे मालूम है कि तू इस्राएलियों पर क्या-क्या उपद्रव करेगा; उनके गढ़वाले नगरों को तू फूँक देगा; उनके जवानों को तू तलवार से घात करेगा, उनके बाल-बच्चों को तू पटक देगा, और उनकी गर्भवती स्त्रियों को तू चीर डालेगा।”

In context

10Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however the LORD has shown me that he will surely die.”

11He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.

12Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”

13Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”

14Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
