And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.

Then Elisha said, By the life of the Lord of armies whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you.

Και ειπεν ο Ελισσαιε, Ζη ο Κυριος των δυναμεων, ενωπιον του οποιου παρισταμαι, βεβαιως εαν δεν εσεβομην το προσωπον του Ιωσαφατ βασιλεως του Ιουδα, δεν ηθελον επιβλεψει προς σε, ουδε ηθελον σε ιδει,
