14. And Elisha said, As the Lord of hosts lives, before Whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would neither look at you nor see you [King Joram].
15. But now bring me a minstrel. And while the minstrel played, the hand and power of the Lord came upon [Elisha].
16. And he said, Thus says the Lord: Make this [dry] brook bed full of trenches.
17. For thus says the Lord: You shall not see wind or rain, yet that ravine shall be filled with water, so you, your cattle, and your beasts [of burden] may drink.
18. This is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord. He will deliver the Moabites also into your hands.
19. You shall smite every fenced city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree and stop all wells of water and mar every good piece of land with stones.
