Sirach 48:1 In-Context

1 Then Elijah the prophet rose up like fire, and his word burned like a torch.

2 He brought a famine upon them, and he reduced their number by his zeal.

3 By the Lord's word he shut up the sky, and in the same way he brought down fire three times.

4 How glorious you were, Elijah, in your amazing deeds! Who will boast like you can?

5 You raised a corpse from death, from the grave by a word of the Most High.
