32 Elisha was sitting in his home with the [city's] leaders. The king had sent one of his men ahead of him [to Elisha's house]. But before the messenger arrived, Elisha asked the leaders, |Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to tear off my head? When the messenger comes, close the door. Hold it shut because the king will be following him.| 33 While he was still talking to them, the messenger arrived. He said to Elisha, |This severe famine is from the LORD. Why should I wait any longer for the LORD [to help us]?| 2 Kings 6:32-33, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
