19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, please, the location of this city [is] pleasant, as my lord sees. But the waters [are] bad, and the ground [is] barren.

20 And he said, Bring me a new jar and put salt in it. And they brought to him.

21 And he went forth to the spring of the waters and threw the salt in there, and said, So says the LORD, I have healed these waters. There shall not be any more death or barrenness from there.

22 And the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
