Sirach 48:1-3 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And the prophet Elijah arose like a fire, and his word burned like a torch.

2. He brought a famine upon them, and those who provoked him in their envy became few. For they could not bear the precepts of the Lord.

3. By the word of the Lord, he closed the heavens, and he brought down fire from heaven three times.
