22 So the waters have been [a]purified to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young boys came out from the city and (A)mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!” 24 Then he looked behind him and saw them. And he (B)cursed them in the name of Yahweh. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of [b]their number.

Elisha Is Jeered
