2 Kings 2:19-21 ▼

19 The men who lived in the city addressed Elisha. |Look now,| they said, |our city's location is good, as you have been observing, but the water springs here are bad and the land isn't sustaining crops.|

20 Elisha ordered them, |Bring me a new bowl and put some salt in it.| So they brought him what he had requested.

21 Elisha went out to the springs, threw the salt into them, and declared, |This is what the LORD says: 'I have purified these waters. Neither death nor barrenness is to flow from them anymore.'|
