"The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper [as white] as snow." — 2 Kings 5:27 (ASV)
The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto your seed for ever
As long as any of his race remained; as through his covetousness he had his money, so for his punishment he should have his disease:
and he went out from his presence ;
as one ashamed and confounded, and discharged from his master's service:
a leper [as white] as snow ;
a leprosy of which colour is the worst, and is incurable.
