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.
13 Nothing was too great for him,and in death his body prophesied.
14 During his life,he performed wonders,and in death his accomplishmentswere marvelous.
15 In spite of these things,the people didn’t changetheir hearts and lives,and they didn’t turn from their sinsuntil they were torn awayfrom their land and scattered over the whole earth.The people who remainedwere few in number,but they had a rulerfrom the house of David.
