# Who is your servant, that he should do this great thing?
Hazel refers to himself here as Elisha's servant. Hazel uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that he does not think he could do the terrible things that Elisha has said. This can be written as a statement. Alternate translation: "I could never do such great things!" or "Who am I, that I would have the power to do such things?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
"I could never do such great things!" or "Who am I, that I would have the power to do such things?"
