2 Kings 7:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ Elisha had told the king that by that time the following day ten pounds of the best wheat or twenty pounds of barley would be sold in Samaria for one piece of silver, ¹⁹ to which the officer had answered, “That can't happen—not even if the Lord himself were to send grain^[a] at once!” And Elisha had replied, “You will see it happen, but you won't get to eat any of the food.” ²⁰ And that is just what happened to him—he died, trampled to death by the people at the city gate.
