2 Kings 3:14-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
14
Elisha said, 'As
surely as
the
Lord
of armies lives, before whom I stand, if I did not respect Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look at you nor see you.
15
But now bring me a musician.' And it came about, when the musician played, that the hand of the
Lord
came upon him.
16
And he said, 'This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’
17
For the
Lord
says this: ‘You will not see wind, nor will you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you will drink, you, your livestock, and your
other
animals.
King James Version
Chapter 3
14
And Elisha said, As the
Lord
of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
15
But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the
Lord
came upon him.
16
And he said, Thus saith the
Lord
, Make this valley full of ditches.
17
For thus saith the
Lord
, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
14
Elisha responded, "By the life of the
Lord
of Armies, before whom I stand: If I did not have respect for King Jehoshaphat of Judah, I wouldn’t look at you; I would not take notice of you.
15
Now, bring me a musician." While the musician played, the
Lord
’s hand came on Elisha.
16
Then he said, "This is what the
Lord
says: ‘Dig ditch after ditch in this wadi.’
17
For the
Lord
says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the wadi will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
14
Elisha replied, 'As surely as the
Lord
Almighty lives, whom I serve, I wouldn’t even bother with you except for my respect for King Jehoshaphat of Judah.
15
Now bring me someone who can play the harp.' While the harp was being played, the power of the
Lord
came upon Elisha,
16
and he said, 'This is what the
Lord
says: This dry valley will be filled with pools of water!
17
You will see neither wind nor rain, says the
Lord
, but this valley will be filled with water. You will have plenty for yourselves and your cattle and other animals.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
14
And Elisha said, "As the
Lord
of hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not that I have regard for Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would neither look at you nor see you.
15
But now bring me a musician." And when the musician played, the hand of the
Lord
came upon him.
16
And he said, "Thus says the
Lord
, ‘I will make this dry streambed full of pools.’
17
For thus says the
Lord
, ‘You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink, you, your livestock, and your animals.’
New International Version
Chapter 3
14
Elisha said, "As surely as the
Lord
Almighty lives, whom I serve, if I did not have respect for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not pay any attention to you.
15
But now bring me a harpist." While the harpist was playing, the hand of the
Lord
came on Elisha
16
and he said, "This is what the
Lord
says: I will fill this valley with pools of water.
17
For this is what the
Lord
says: You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water, and you, your cattle and your other animals will drink.
