Sirach 48:1-4
-
1 Then stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned like a lamp.
-
2 He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.
-
3 By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also three times brought down fire.
-
4 O Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee!
