Elisha Prophesies Victory

13

And Eliseus said to the king of Israel: What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him: Why hath the Lord gathered together these three kings, to deliver them into the hands of Moab?

14

And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord of hosts liveth, in whose sight I stand, if I did not reverence the face of Josaphat, king of Juda, I would not have hearkened to thee, nor looked on thee.

15

But now bring me hither a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him, and he said:

16

Thus saith the Lord: Make the channel of this torrent full of ditches.

17

For thus saith the Lord: You shall not see wind, nor rain: and yet this channel shall be filled with waters, and you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts.

18

And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover, he will deliver, also, Moab into your hands.

19

And you shall destroy every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall cut down every fruitful tree, and shall stop up all the springs of waters, and every goodly field you shall cover with stones.
