The King James Version Bible

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!
