Legacy Standard Bible
19 Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold now, the habitat of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad and the land [a]is unfruitful.” 20 And he said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt [b]in it.” So they brought it to him. 21 And he went out to the spring of water and (A)threw salt [c]in it and said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘I have [d]purified these waters; there shall not be from there death or barrenness any longer.’” 22 So the waters have been [e]purified to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.

Christian Standard Bible
19 The men of the city said to Elisha, “My lord can see that even though the city’s location is good, the water is bad and the land unfruitful.”(A)
20 He replied, “Bring me a new bowl and put salt in it.”(B)
After they had brought him one, 21 Elisha went out to the spring, threw salt in it,(C) and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have healed this water. No longer will death or unfruitfulness result from it.’” 22 Therefore, the water still remains healthy today according to the word that Elisha spoke.
