14. Et ille respondit: “Zelo zelatus sum pro Domino, Deo exercituum, quia dereliquerunt pactum tuum filii Israel, altaria tua destruxerunt et prophetas tuos occiderunt gladio; et derelictus sum ego solus, et quaerunt animam meam, ut auferant eam”.

14. He said, "I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the people of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

15. And the LORD said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, you shall anoint Haz'ael to be king over Syria;

16. et Iehu filium Namsi unges regem super Israel; Eliseum autem filium Saphat, qui est de Abelmehula, unges prophetam pro te.

16. and Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint to be king over Israel; and Eli'sha the son of Shaphat of A'bel-meho'lah you shall anoint to be prophet in your place.
