And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Kings. Elijah confronts Ahab in Naboth’s vineyard and announces judgment against him and his house. Ahab humbles himself, and God acknowledges his response by postponing part of the punishment until his son’s days. The scene does not remove the seriousness of the crime, but shows that even a guilty king can experience a measure of mercy when he humbles himself. Judgment against Ahab’s house, however, remains announced.

und rede mit ihm und sprich: So spricht der HERR: Du hast totgeschlagen, dazu auch in Besitz genommen. Und sollst mit ihm reden und Sagen: So spricht der HERR: An der Stätte, da Hunde das Blut Naboths geleckt haben, sollen auch Hunde dein Blut lecken.
Y hablarle has, diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová: ¿No mataste y también has poseído? Y tornarás a hablarle, diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová: En el mismo lugar donde lamieron los perros la sangre de Naboth, los perros lamerán también tu sangre, la tuya misma.
Tu lui diras: Ainsi parle l'Eternel: N'es-tu pas un assassin et un voleur? Et tu lui diras: Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Au lieu même où les chiens ont léché le sang de Naboth, les chiens lécheront aussi ton propre sang.
E parla a lui, dicendo: Così ha detto il Signore: Avresti tu ucciso, e anche possederesti? Poi digli: Come i cani hanno leccato il sangue di Nabot, leccheranno altresì il tuo.
E falar-lhe-ás, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR: Porventura não mataste e tomaste a herança? Falar-lhe-ás mais, dizendo: Assim diz o SENHOR: No lugar em que os cães lamberam o sangue de Nabote lamberão também o teu próprio sangue.
你要對他說:『耶和華如此說:你殺了人,還要取得他的產業嗎?』又要對他說:『耶和華如此說:狗在何處舔 拿伯 的血,狗也必在何處舔你的血。』」
