WEBBE Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?”
¶ He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”

WMBB (Same as above)

LSV And Hazael says, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he says, “Because I have known the evil that you do to the sons of Israel—you send their fortifications into fire, and you slay their young men with sword, and you dash their sucklings to pieces, and you rip up their pregnant women.”

FBV “Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael.
¶ “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”

T4T Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?”
¶ Elisha replied, “Because Yahweh has enabled me to know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women with a sword.”

LEB Then Hazael asked, “Why is my lord crying?” He said, “Because I know what evil you will do to the Israelites.[fn] You will set their fortifications on fire,[fn] and you will kill their young men with the sword. Their little ones you will dash to pieces, and their pregnant women you will rip open!”
