Doth send unto me

To recover a man

Of his leprosy?

Wherefore

Consider,

I pray you,

And see how he seeketh

A quarrel against me.'

And it was so,

When Elisha

The man of God

Had heard that the king

Of Israel

Had rent his clothes,

That he sent to the king,

Saying,

'Wherefore

Hast thou rent

Thy clothes?

Let him come now

To me,

And he shall know

That there is a prophet

In Israel.'

So Naaman came

With his horses

And with his chariot,

And stood at the door

Of the house of Elisha.

And Elisha

Sent a messenger

Unto him,

Saying,

'Go

And wash in Jordan

Seven times,

And thy flesh

Shall come again to thee,

And thou shalt be clean.'

But Naaman was wroth,

And went away,

And said,

'Behold,'

I thought,

'He will surely

Come out to me,

And stand,

And call on the name

Of the LORD his God,

And strike his hand

Over the place,

And recover the leper.
