2 Kings 8:10-12
English Standard Version
10 And Elisha said to him, (A)“Go, say to him, ‘You shall certainly recover,’ but[a] the Lord has shown me that (B)he shall certainly die.” 11 And he fixed his gaze and stared at him, (C)until he was embarrassed. And the man of God wept. 12 And Hazael said, “Why does my lord weep?” He answered, “Because I know (D)the evil that you will do to the people of Israel. You will set on fire their fortresses, and you will kill their young men with the sword (E)and dash in pieces their little ones and rip open their pregnant women.”
