The people of the city said to Elisha,“ Look, our lord, this town is well situated, as you can see, but the water is bad and the land is unproductive.”

The people of Jericho said to Elisha,“ Look. This town has a good location. You can see that for yourself. But the spring of water here is bad. So the land doesn’t produce anything.”

Now the men of the city said to Elisha,“ Behold, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees, but the water is bad, and the land is unfruitful.”

One day the leaders of the town of Jericho visited Elisha.“ We have a problem, my lord,” they told him.“ This town is located in pleasant surroundings, as you can see. But the water is bad, and the land is unproductive.”

The men of the city said to Elisha,“ My lord can see that even though the city’s location is good, the water is bad and the land unfruitful.”

Then the men of the city said to Elisha,“ Behold now, the site of the city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad and the land is unfruitful.”

Then the men of the city said to Elisha,“ Please notice, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my Lord sees; but the water is bad, and the ground barren.”

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.

Then the men of the city said to Elisha,“ Even though our lord can see that the city’s location is good, the water is bad and the land unfruitful.”

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.

The men of the city said to Elisha,“ Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.”

“ But if you ignore the LORD your God and are not careful to keep all his commandments and statutes I am giving you today, then all these curses will come upon you in full force:You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the field.Your basket and your mixing bowl will be cursed.Your children will be cursed, as well as the produce of your soil, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.

No woman will miscarry her young or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.

Then they came to Marah, but they were not able to drink the waters of Marah, because they were bitter.( That is why its name was Marah.)

The LORD will greatly multiply your children, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your soil in the land which he promised your ancestors he would give you.

Certainly my master is aware of what I did when Jezebel was killing the LORD’s prophets. I hid one hundred of the LORD’s prophets in two caves in two groups of fifty and I brought them food and water.

At that time Joshua made this solemn declaration:“ The man who attempts to rebuild this city of Jericho will stand condemned before the LORD. He will lose his firstborn son when he lays its foundations and his youngest son when he erects its gates!”

The city and all that is in it must be set apart for the LORD, except for Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house, because she hid the spies we sent.

During Ahab’s reign, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. Abiram, his firstborn son, died when he laid the foundation; Segub, his youngest son, died when he erected its gates, just as the LORD had warned through Joshua son of Nun.

As Obadiah was traveling along, Elijah met him. When he recognized him, he fell facedown to the ground and said,“ Is it really you, my master, Elijah?”

All these blessings will come to you in abundance if you obey the LORD your God:You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the field.Your children will be blessed, as well as the produce of your soil, the offspring of your livestock, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.

So Aaron said to Moses,“ O my lord, please do not hold this sin against us, in which we have acted foolishly and have sinned!

Give them, O LORD– what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry, and breasts that cannot nurse!

Then the LORD said to Moses,“ Tell Aaron,‘ Take your staff and stretch out your hand over Egypt’s waters– over their rivers, over their canals, over their ponds, and over all their reservoirs– so that it becomes blood.’ There will be blood everywhere in the land of Egypt, even in wooden and stone containers.”

Elders who provide effective leadership must be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard in speaking and teaching.
