Also there arose Elijah the prophet as fire,

2 Who brought a famine upon them,

3 By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven:

4 How wast thou glorified, O Elijah, in thy wondrous deeds!

5 Who did raise up a dead man from death,

6 Who brought down kings to destruction,

7 Who heard rebuke in Sinai,

8 Who anointed kings for retribution,

9 Who was taken up in a tempest of fire,

10 Who was recorded for reproofs in their seasons,

11 Blessed are they that saw thee,

12 Elijah it was, who was wrapped in a tempest:

13 Nothing was too high for him;

14 As in his life he did wonders,

15 For all this the people repented not,

16 Some of them did that which was pleasing to God,

17 Hezekiah fortified his city,

18 In his days Sennacherib came up,

19 Then were their hearts and their hands shaken,

20 And they called upon the Lord who is merciful,

21 He smote the camp of the Assyrians,

22 For Hezekiah did that which was pleasing to the Lord,

23 In his days the sun went backward;

24 He saw by an excellent spirit what should come to pass at the last;

25 He showed the things that should be to the end of time,
