21 Then he went out to the source of the water, and acast in the salt there, and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘I have1 healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barrenness.’ ”
22 So the water remains ahealed 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 the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”
24 So he turned around and looked at them, and apronounced a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.
25 Then he went from there to aMount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
