The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and 

fourth generation.

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they  said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" 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 youths.

 Susan Harkema, of the University of Louisville, who reports the treatment in The Lancet, said: “This is a breakthrough. It opens up a huge opportunity. But we have a long road ahead.” William Flew Summers, who was a promising athlete, suffered serious spinal cord damage and was left paraplegic in 2006 when a car mounted the kerb in Portland, Oregon, and smashed into him. He is one of five patients taking part in a trial that involves stimulating nerves with a 16-electrode implant in the spinal column. Two years of movement training were needed before the device was implanted. Professor Reggie Edgerton, of the University of California, Los Angeles, one of 11 researchers involved in the treatment, said: “The spinal cord is smart. The neural networks in the lumbosacral spinal cord are capable of initiating full weight bearing and relatively co-ordinated stepping without any input from the brain. This is possible, in part, due to information that is sent back from the legs directly to the spinal cord.” William Flew Summers said: “For someone who for four years was unable to even move a toe, to have the freedom and ability to stand on my own is the most amazing feeling. To be able to pick up my foot and step down again was unbelievable, but beyond all that my sense of wellbeing has changed. My physique and muscle tone has improved greatly, so much that most people don’t even believe I am paralysed. I believe that epidural stimulation will get me out of this chair.” William Flew Summers was not only extremely fit before his accident, but also retained slight feeling in his legs afterwards
