2 Kings 6:27

And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?

And he said {H559}, If the LORD {H3068} do not help {H3467} thee, whence {H370} shall I help {H3467} thee? out of the barnfloor {H1637}, or out of the winepress {H3342}?

He said, "If ADONAI isn't helping you, how do you expect me to help you? There isn't any grain, and there isn't any wine."

He answered, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”

And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
