38/엘리사가 다시 길갈에 이르니 그 땅에 흉년이 들었는데 선지자의 제자들이 엘리사의 앞에 앉은지라 엘리사가 자기 사환에게 이르되 큰 솥을 걸고 선지자의 제자들을 위하여 국을 끓이라 하매  

39/한 사람이 채소를 캐러 들에 나가 들포도덩굴을 만나 그것에서 들호박을 따서 옷자락에 채워가지고 돌아와 썰어 국 끓이는 솥에 넣되 그들은 무엇인지 알지 못한지라                    

40/이에 퍼다가 무리에게 주어 먹게 하였더니 무리가 국을 먹다가 그들이 외쳐 이르되 하나님의 사람이여 솥에 죽음의 독이 있나이다 하고 능히 먹지 못하는지라                    

41/엘리사가 이르되 그러면 가루를 가져오라 하여 솥에 던지고 이르되 퍼다가 무리에게 주어 먹게 하라 하매 이에 솥 가운데 독이 없어지니라                    

42/한 사람이 바알 살리사에서부터 와서 처음 만든 떡 곧 보리떡 이십 개와 또 자루에 담은 채소를 하나님의 사람에게 드린지라 그가 이르되 무리에게 주어 먹게 하라                    

43/그 사환이 이르되 내가 어찌 이것을 백 명에게 주겠나이까 하나 엘리사는 또 이르되 무리에게 주어 먹게 하라 여호와의 말씀이 그들이 먹고 남으리라 하셨느니라                    

44/그가 그들 앞에 주었더니 여호와께서 말씀하신 대로 먹고 남았더라
