2 Reis 2

19 The townspeople said to Elisha, "Look, sir, while our town has a good location as you can see, the water is bad and the soil is poor."

20 "Bring me a brand new bowl and put some salt in it," he replied. So they brought it to him. 21 Then Elisha went to the spring, threw the salt into it, and said, "This is what the Lord says: ‘I have purified this water. It won’t cause death or miscarriages anymore.’" 22 The water there is still pure to this very day, just as Elisha said it would be.
