10Elisha answered, “Go and say to him, ‘You will certainly recover.’ Nevertheless, The Hebrew may also be read Go and say, ‘You will certainly not recover,’ for. the LORD has revealed to me that he will in fact die.”

11He stared at him with a fixed gaze until Hazael was embarrassed. Then the man of God began to weep.

12“Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the harm you will do to the Israelites,” he answered. “You will set fire to their fortified places, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little children to the ground, and rip open their pregnant women.”

13Hazael said, “How could your servant, a mere dog, accomplish such a feat?” “The LORD has shown me that you will become king of Aram,” answered Elisha.
