2 Kings 3:14-19 ▼

14 And Elisha says, “YHWH of Hosts lives, before whom I have stood; for unless I am lifting up the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I do not look to you, nor see you;

15 and now, bring a musician to me”; and it has been, at the playing of the musician, that the hand of YHWH is on him,

16 and he says, “Thus said YHWH: Make this valley ditches—ditches;

17 for thus said YHWH: You do not see wind, nor do you see rain, and that valley is full of water, and you have drunk—you, and your livestock, and your beasts.

18 And this has been light in the eyes of YHWH, and he has given Moab into your hand,

19 and you have struck every fortified city, and every choice city, and you cause every good tree to fall, and you stop all fountains of waters, and you mar every good portion with stones.”
