6 You brought kings down to destructionand dragged the famousfrom their beds.
7 You heard a rebuke at Sinaiand decrees of punishment at Horeb.
8 You anointed kings to bring retributionand prophets to succeed you.
9 You were taken up in a whirlwind of fireand in a chariot of fiery horses.
10 It is recorded that you are readyfor the designated times,to calm anger before it turns to wrath,to turn the heart of a father to his son,and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
11 Happy are those who saw youand who have fallen asleepin your love,for we will surely live as well.
12 Elijah was covered by the whirlwind,and Elisha was filled with his spirit.In his time, he didn’t tremblebefore any ruler,and no one oppressed him.
