Elisha shows that he has God's authority

The land does not give us good crops.’ ²⁰ Elisha said, ‘Bring a new bowl to me with some salt in it.’ So they brought it to him. ²¹ Then Elisha went out to the city's spring of water. He threw the salt into it. He said, ‘This is what the Lord says: “I have made this water clean again. It will no longer cause people to die. The land will no longer be useless for crops.” ’
