Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;

And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
