1
Then the prophet Elijah arose like a fire, and his word burned like a torch.
2 He brought a famine upon them,3 By the word of the Lord, he shut up the heavens, and also three times brought down fire. 4 How glorious you were, O Elijah, in your miracles! Who has the right to boast which you have?
5
You who raised a corpse from death by the word of the Most High;
6
you brought kings down to destruction and7 you anointed kings and prophets to succeed you. 9 You were taken up by a whirlwind of fire, in a chariot with horses of fire.10 It is recorded that you will come at the designated time, to calm God’s anger before it turns to wrath, and to restore the tribes of Jacob. 11 Happy are those who see you and who have fallen asleep in your love, for they will also live. Eccles.48
