2 Kings 2:20-22

2:20 Elisha ¹  said, “Get me a new jar and put some salt in it.” So they got it. 2:21 He went out to the spring and threw the salt in. Then he said, “This is what the Lord says, ‘I have purified ²  this water. It will no longer cause death or fail to produce crops.” ³  2:22 The water has been pure to this very day, just as Elisha prophesied. ⁴
