2 Kings 7:4

If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine [is] in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

If we say {H559}, We will enter {H935} into the city {H5892}, then the famine {H7458} is in the city {H5892}, and we shall die {H4191} there: and if we sit still {H3427} here, we die {H4191} also. Now therefore come {H3212}, and let us fall {H5307} unto the host {H4264} of the Syrians {H758}: if they save us alive {H2421}, we shall live {H2421}; and if they kill {H4191} us, we shall but die {H4191}.

If we say, 'We'll enter the city, then the city has been struck by the famine, so we'll die there. And if we sit still here, we'll also die. So let's go and surrender to the army of Aram; if they spare our lives, we will live; and if they kill us, we'll only die."

If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ we will die there from the famine in the city; but if we sit here, we will also die. So come now, let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”

If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
