2 Kings 9:30-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. And Jehu went into Jezreel. But Jezebel, hearing of his arrival, painted her eyes with cosmetics, and adorned her head. And she watched through a window,

31. as Jehu was entering through the gate. And she said, "Is it possible for there to be peace for Zimri, who killed his lord?"

32. And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and he said, "Who is this woman?" And two or three eunuchs bowed down before him.

33. And he said to them, "Throw her down with force." And they threw her forcefully, and the wall was splattered with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trampled her.

34. And when he had entered, so that he might eat and drink, he said: "Go, and see to that cursed woman, and bury her. For she is the daughter of a king."

35. But when they had gone, so that they might bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the ends of her hands.

36. And returning, they reported to him. And Jehu said: "It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke though his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying: 'In the field of Jezreel, the dogs will consume the flesh of Jezebel.

37. And the flesh of Jezebel will be like dung upon the face of the earth, in the field of Jezreel, so that those who pass by may say: Is this that same Jezebel?' "
