And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is bad, and the land miscarrieth.

Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.

Και ειπον οι ανδρες της πολεως προς τον Ελισσαιε, Ιδου τωρα, η θεσις της πολεως ταυτης ειναι καλη, καθως ο κυριος μου βλεπει τα υδατα ομως ειναι κακα και η γη αγονος.

And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
