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.
13. Nothing was too high for him; And when he was laid on sleep his body prophesied.
14. As in his life he did wonders, So in death were his works marvelous.
15. For all this the people repented not, And they departed not from their sins, Till they were carried away as a spoil from their land, And were scattered through all the earth; And the people was left very few in number, And a ruler was left in the house of David.
16. Some of them did that which was pleasing to God, And some multiplied sins.
