5
Who raisedst up a dead man from below, from the lot of death, by the word of the Lord God.
6
Who broughtest down kings to destruction, and brokest easily their power in pieces, and the glorious from their bed.
7
Who heardest judgment in Sina, and in Horeb the judgments of vengeance.
8
Who anointedst kings to penance, and madest prophets successors after thee.
9
Who wast taken up in a whirlwind of fire, in a chariot of fiery horses.
10
Who art registered in the judgments of times to appease the wrath of the Lord, to reconcile the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
11
Blessed are they that saw thee, and were honoured with thy friendship.
12
For we live only in our life, but after death our name shall not be such.
13
Elias was indeed covered with the whirlwind, and his spirit was filled up in Eliseus: in his days he feared not the prince, and no man was more powerful than he.
14
No word could overcome him, and after death his body prophesied.
15
In his life he did great wonders, and is death he wrought miracles.
