Ben Sira 48:1-4

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

2 He brought a famine upon them, and by his zeal he made them few in number.

3 By the word of the Lord he shut up the heavens, and also three times brought down fire.

4 How glorious you were, O Elijah, in your wondrous deeds! And who has the right to boast which you have?
