17 Mais ils le pressèrent longtemps; et il dit: Envoyez-les. Ils envoyèrent les cinquante hommes, qui cherchèrent Élie pendant trois jours et ne le trouvèrent point.
18 Lorsqu’ils furent de retour auprès d’Élisée, qui était à Jéricho, il leur dit: Ne vous avais-je pas dit: N’allez pas?
19 Les gens de la ville dirent à Élisée: Voici, le séjour de la ville est bon, comme le voit mon seigneur; mais les eaux sont mauvaises, et le pays est stérile.
20 Il dit: Apportez-moi un plat neuf, et mettez-y du sel. Et ils le lui apportèrent.
21 Il alla vers la source des eaux, et il y jeta du sel, et dit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: J’assainis ces eaux; il n’en proviendra plus ni mort, ni stérilité.
