1. Also there arose Elijah the prophet as fire, And his word burned like a torch:
2. Who brought a famine upon them, And by his zeal made them few in number.
3. By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven: Thrice did he thus bring down fire.
4. How was you glorified, O Elijah, in your wondrous deeds! And who shall glory like to you?
5. Who did raise up a dead man from death, And from the place of the dead, by the word of the Most High:
6. Who brought down kings to destruction, And honorable men from their bed:
7. Who heard rebuke in Sinai, And judgements of vengeance in Horeb:
8. Who anointed kings for retribution, And prophets to succeed after him:
9. Who was taken up in a tempest of fire, In a chariot of fiery horses:
10. Who was recorded for reproofs in their seasons, To pacify anger, before it brake forth into wrath; To turn the heart of the father to the son, And to restore the tribes of Jacob.
11. Blessed are they that saw you, And they that have been beautified with love; For we also shall surely live.
12. Elijah it was, who was wrapped in a tempest: And Elisha was filled with his spirit; And in all his days he was not moved by the fear of any ruler, And no one brought him into subjection.
