My only hope is lost: Samaria's king

Rejects our monarch's message,--hast thou heard?

"Am I a god that I should cure a leper?"

He sends me home unhealed, with angry words,

Back to Damascus and the lingering death.

RUAHMAH:

What matter where he sends? No god is he

To slay or make alive. Elisha bids

You come to him at Dothan, there to learn

There is a God in Israel.
