1 Then there arose the fiery prophet Elijah, whose words blazed like a torch.
2 He brought a famine on the people, and many of them died because of his persistence.
3 Speaking in the name of the Lord, he kept the rain from coming, and on three occasions he called down fire.
4 Elijah, your miracles were marvellous! No one else can boast of such deeds!
5 In the name of the Most High, you brought a dead man back to life.
6 You brought a famous king down to sickness and death.
