And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child.
To whom Azael seide, Whi wepith my lord? And he answeride, For Y woot what yuelis thou schalt do to þe sones of Israel; thou schalt brenne bi fier þe strengthid citees of hem, and thou schalt sle bi swerd þe yonge men of hem, and thou schalt hurtle doun þe litle children of hem, and thou schalt departe þe women with childe.
