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 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.
