How was having 42 children torn apart by bears a proportionate response to Elisha being called a "baldie"?

Would it be acceptable for me to have 42 children massacred if they called me bald?

2 Kings 2:23 - 25

ESV - ²³ He went up from there to Bethel, and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, "Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead! ²⁴ And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.
