“And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?”
“And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress? ”
“He said, "If Yahweh doesn't help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?"”
“He replied,“No, let the LORD help you. How can I help you? The threshing floor and winepress are empty.””
“And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:”
“And he said, If the Lord does not give you help, where am I to get help for you? from the grain-floor or the grape-crusher?”
“And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?”
Now it happened that, after these things, Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army, and he ascended and was besieging Samaria.
And a great famine occurred in Samaria. And it was blockaded for a long time, until the head of a donkey was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one fourth part of a pint of pigeons’ dung sold for five silver coins.
And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying, “Save me, my lord the king!”
And he said: “If the Lord does not save you, how am I able to save you? From the grain floor, or from the wine press?” And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she responded:
“This woman said to me: ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
Therefore, we cooked my son, and we ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him.’ But she concealed her son.”
When the king had heard this, he tore his garments, and he passed along the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth that he had worn underneath, beside his flesh.
