19 The men of the city said to Elisha, "Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren."

20 He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." Then they brought it to him. 21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Yahweh says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’" 22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word which he spoke.

19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, the seat of this city [is] good, as my lord sees, but the water [is] evil, and the ground barren.

20 Then he said, Bring me a new cruse and put salt in it. And they brought [it] to him.

21 And he went forth unto the springs of the waters and cast the salt in there and said, Thus hath the LORD said, I have healed these waters; there shall be no more death or barrenness in them.

22 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word which Elisha spoke.
