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.
4 In this way, Elijah was magnified in his wondrous works. So who can say that he is similar to you in glory?
5 He raised up a dead man from the grave, from the fate of death, by the word of the Lord God.
6 He threw down kings unto perdition, and he easily shattered their power and boasting from his bed.
7 He heeded the judgment at Sinai, and the judgments of punishment at Horeb.
8 He anointed kings unto repentance, and he chose the prophets who would follow after him.
