1 Then stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned like a lamp. |
2 He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number. |
3 By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also three times brought down fire. |
4 O Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee! ... |
9 Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses: |
10 Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord's judgment, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob. |
11 Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live. |
