14 And Elisha said, ^a“As the Lord of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you, nor see you.  ‡

16 And he said, “Thus says the Lord: ^a‘Make this valley full of ditches.’  ‡

17 For thus says the Lord: ‘You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, so that you, your cattle, and your animals may drink.’
