1 Until like fire a prophet appeared,his words a flaming furnace.
2 The staff of life, their bread, he shattered,and in his zeal he made them few in number.
3 By God’s word he shut up the heavensand three times brought down fire.
4 How awesome are you, Elijah!Whose glory is equal to yours?
5 You brought a dead body back to lifefrom Sheol, by the will of the Lord.
6 You sent kings down to destruction,and nobles, from their beds of sickness.
