19 And the men of the city say unto Elisha, 'Lo, we pray thee, the site of the city 'is' good, as my lord seeth, and the waters 'are' bad, and the earth sterile.'
20 And he saith, 'Bring to me a new dish, and place there salt;' and they bring 'it' unto him,
21 and he goeth out unto the source of the waters, and casteth there salt, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, I have given healing to these waters; there is not thence any more death and sterility.'
22 And the waters are healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha, that he spake.
23 And he goeth up thence to Beth-El, and he is going up in the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and scoff at him, and say to him, 'Go up, bald-head! go up, bald-head!'
