And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 3 of 2 Kings. Elisha announces that the Lord will provide water without rain or wind and will also deliver Moab into the allies’ hands. The prophecy links provision and victory: God can act in a situation that appears naturally impossible. The valley fills with water the following morning, fulfilling the announced word. The passage emphasizes the effective character of the prophetic word. What God declares does not depend on visible conditions appearing sufficient. Divine intervention transforms a situation of wilderness and scarcity into the setting from which Israel receives the provision necessary to continue.

daß ihr schlagen werdet alle festen Städte und alle auserwählten Städte und werdet fällen alle guten Bäume und werdet verstopfen alle Wasserbrunnen und werdet allen guten Acker mit Steinen verderben.
Y vosotros heriréis a toda ciudad fortalecida y a toda villa hermosa, y talaréis todo buen árbol, y cegaréis todas las fuentes de aguas, y destruiréis con piedras toda tierra fértil.
Derribarán toda ciudad fortificada y toda ciudad importante, talarán todo árbol bueno, taparán todos los manantiales y arruinarán con piedras todo terreno fértil».
vous frapperez toutes les villes fortes et toutes les villes d'élite, vous abattrez tous les bons arbres, vous boucherez toutes les sources d'eau, et vous ruinerez avec des pierres tous les meilleurs champs.
E voi disfarete tutte le città murate, e tutte le città principali, ed abbatterete ogni buon albero, e turerete ogni fontana d’acqua, e desolerete con pietre ogni buon campo
E ferireis a todas as cidades fortes, e a todas as cidades escolhidas, e todas as boas árvores cortareis, e entupireis todas as fontes de água, e danificareis com pedras todos os bons campos.
你們必攻破一切堡壘和美好的城鎮,砍伐各種好樹,塞住一切水泉,用石頭毀壞一切良田。」
