²¹ and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because you rebelled against the Lord’s command and did not keep the command that the Lord your God commanded you— ²² but you went back and ate food and drank water in the place that he said to you, “Do not eat food and do not drink water”^(A)—your corpse will never reach the grave of your ancestors.’”^(B)

²³ So after he had eaten food and after he had drunk, the old prophet saddled the donkey for the prophet he had brought back.
