2 Kings 8:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Hazael asked, “Why is my lord weeping?” He answered, “Because I know what harm you will do to the Israelites. You will burn down their strongholds, you will put their young men to the sword, you will dash their children to the ground, and you will rip open their pregnant women.” ¹³ Hazael said, “But how could your servant, who is nothing more than a dog,^[a] do such a great thing?” Elisha answered, “The Lord has revealed to me that you will be the king of Aram.”

¹⁴ He left Elisha and went back to his master who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you will surely recover.”
