Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and hold him fast at the door. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?

And Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise and go, you and your household, and live wherever you can live. For Jehovah has called for a famine. And it shall also come on the land seven years.
