1 Then Elisa saide: Heare ye the word of the lord, thus sayth the Lorde: To morow this time shall a bushell of fyne flowre be solde for a sicle, and two bushels of barlye for a sicle in the gate of Samaria. 2 Then a certayne lorde (on whose hand the king leaned) aunswered the man of God, and sayde: Beholde, if the Lorde would make windowes in heaue, might this saying come to passe? He sayde: Behold, thou shalt see it with thyne eyes, but shalt not eate therof. 3 And there were foure leperous men at the entring in of the gate: And they sayd one to another, Why sit we here vntill we dye? 4 If we say, we will enter into the citie: behold, the dearth is in the citie, and we shal die therin: And if we sit stil here, we dye also. Nowe therfore come, and let vs fall vpon the hoast of the Syrians: If they saue our liues, we shall lyue: If they kill vs, then are we dead. 2 Kings 7:1-4, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
