— 1 Kings 21:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?”
“But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? ”
“But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, "Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?"”
“Then his wife Jezebel came in and said to him,“Why do you have a bitter attitude and refuse to eat?””
“And Jezabel, his wife, went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread?”
“But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?”
“But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?”
Therefore, Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying: “Give your vineyard to me, so that I may make for myself a garden of herbs. For it is nearby and is beside my house. And I will give to you, in place of it, a better vineyard. Or if you consider it to be more convenient for you, I will give you the price in silver, whatever it is worth.”
Naboth responded to him, “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”
Then Ahab went into his house, angry and gnashing his teeth over the word that Naboth, the Jezreelite, had spoken to him, saying, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” And casting himself on his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and he would not eat bread.
Then Jezebel, his wife, entered to him, and she said to him: “What is this matter, by which your soul has been saddened? And why do you not eat bread?”
And he responded to her: “I spoke to Naboth, the Jezreelite, and I said to him: ‘Give your vineyard to me, and accept money. Or if it pleases you, I will give to you a better vineyard, in place of it.’ And he said, ‘I will not give my vineyard to you.’ ”
Then Jezebel, his wife, said to him: “You are of great authority, and you rule well in the kingdom of Israel. Rise up and eat bread, and be even-tempered. I will give the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, to you.”
And so, she wrote letters in the name of Ahab, and she sealed these with his ring. And she sent to those greater by birth, and to the nobles who were in his city and living with Naboth.
