³⁰ And the mother of the child said, ^(D)“As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not ^(E)leave you.” So he arose and followed her. ³¹ Now Gehazi went on ahead of them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice nor hearing. Therefore he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, “The child has ^(F)not awakened.”
