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.
22 Et les eaux furent assainies, jusqu’à ce jour, selon la parole qu’Élisée avait prononcée.
23 Il monta de là à Béthel; et comme il cheminait à la montée, des petits garçons sortirent de la ville, et se moquèrent de lui. Ils lui disaient: Monte, chauve! Monte, chauve!
24 Il se retourna pour les regarder, et il les maudit au nom de l’Éternel. Alors deux ours sortirent de la forêt, et déchirèrent quarante-deux de ces enfants.
25 De là il alla sur la montagne du Carmel, d’où il retourna à Samarie.
