23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!”
24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.
I hope they include this. We should instill the fear of random bear attacks in boys. Otherwise they’ll make fun of me when I inevitably go bald.
This is a pretty crap translation. What they said was more akin to “go up, baldy!” The context being Elijah ascended into heaven. They were basically telling him to “go die”.

Nice try Baldy
Oh, you’re just asking for a bear attack!
Do the bears have a full head of hair at least? I don’t want to get mailed by some naked scalped ursidae.
