וַיִּ֤פֶן אַֽחֲרָיו֙ וַיִּרְאֵ֔ם וַֽיְקַלְלֵ֖ם בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה וַתֵּצֶ֨אנָה שְׁתַּ֤יִם דֻּבִּים֙ מִן־הַיַּ֔עַר וַתְּבַקַּ֣עְנָה מֵהֶ֔ם אַרְבָּעִ֥ים וּשְׁנֵ֖י יְלָדִֽים׃
Lalu ia menoleh ke belakang, melihat mereka, dan mengutuk mereka dalam nama Yang Mahakekal. Maka keluarlah dua ekor beruang betina dari hutan dan mencabik-cabik empat puluh dua orang anak dari antara mereka.
Rashi
And saw them. He saw that neither in them nor in their descendants would there be any sap of good deed.23See Shemos 2:12 and Rashi there.24Some say that Elisha saw that their hair was cut in the style of the heathens. He believed that they were degenerate and depraved and foresaw that they would never return to the ways of the Torah. See Maseches Sotah 46b.
