2 Kings 2:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ And the men of the city said to Eliseus: Behold the situation of this city is very good, as thou, my lord, seest: but the waters are very bad, and the ground barren.

²⁰ And he said: Bring me a new vessel, and put salt into it. And when they had brought it,

²¹ He went out to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt into it, and said: Thus saith the Lord: I have healed these waters, and there shall be no more in them death or barrenness.
