1 Kings 20:40-42

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁰ And whilst I in a hurry turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast decreed.

⁴¹ But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew him, that he was one of the prophets.

⁴² And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people.
