[1] Then Elijah arose, the prophet like fire.
His word burned like a torch.
[2] He brought a famine upon them,
and by his zeal made them few in number.
[3] By the word of the Lord he shut up the heavens.
He brought down fire three times.
[4] How you were glorified, O Elijah, in your wondrous deeds!
Whose glory is like yours?
[5] You raised up a dead man from death,
from Hades, by the word of the Most High.
[6] You brought down kings to destruction,
and honorable men from their sickbeds.
[7] You heard rebuke in Sinai,
and judgments of vengeance in Horeb.
[8] You anointed kings for retribution,
and prophets to succeed after you.
[9] You were taken up in a tempest of fire,
in a chariot of fiery horses.
[10] You were recorded for reproofs in their seasons,
to pacify anger, before it broke out into wrath,
to turn the heart of the father to the son,
and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
[11] Blessed are those who saw you,
and those who have been beautified with love;
for we also shall surely live. [12] Elijah was wrapped in a whirlwind.
Elisha was filled with his spirit.
In his days he was not moved by the fear of any ruler,
and no one brought him into subjection.
[13] Nothing was too hard for him.
When he was buried, his body prophesied.
[14] As in his life he did wonders,
so his works were also marvelous in death.
[15] For all this the people didn’t repent.
They didn’t depart from their sins,
until they were carried away as a plunder from their land,
and were scattered through all the earth.
The people were left very few in number,
but with a ruler from the house of David.
[16] Some of them did that which was right,
but some multiplied sins. [17] Hezekiah fortified his city,
and brought water into its midst.
He tunneled through rock with iron,
and built cisterns for water.
[18] In his days Sennacherib invaded,
and sent Rabshakeh, and departed.
He lifted up his hand against Zion,
and boasted great things in his arrogance.
[19] Then their hearts and their hands were shaken,
and they were in pain, as women in labor.
[20] But they called upon the Lord who is merciful,
spreading out their hands to him.
The Holy One quickly heard them out of Heaven,
and delivered them by the hand of Isaiah.
[21] He struck the camp of the Assyrians,
and his angel utterly destroyed them.
[22] For Hezekiah did that which was pleasing to the Lord,
and was strong in the ways of his ancestor David,
which Isaiah the prophet commanded,
who was great and faithful in his vision. [23] In his days the sun went backward.
He prolonged the life of the king.
[24] He saw by an excellent spirit what would come to pass in the future;
and he comforted those who mourned in Zion.
[25] He showed the things that would happen through the end of time,
and the hidden things before they came.

G2198 [12] Ηλιας G2243 ὃς G3739 ἐν G1722 λαίλαπι G2978 ἐσκεπάσθη, καὶ G2532 Ελισαιε ἐνεπλήσθη G1705 πνεύματος G4151 αὐτοῦ· G846 καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 ἡμέραις G2250 αὐτοῦ G846 οὐκ G3756 ἐσαλεύθη G4531 ὑπὸ G5259 ἄρχοντος, G758 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 κατεδυνάστευσεν G2616 αὐτὸν G846 οὐδείς. G3762 [13] Πᾶς G3956 λόγος G3056 οὐχ G3756 ὑπερῆρεν G5229 αὐτόν, G846 καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 κοιμήσει G2838 ἐπροφήτευσεν G4395 τὸ G3588 σῶμα G4983 αὐτοῦ· G846 [14] καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 ζωῇ G2222 αὐτοῦ G846 ἐποίησεν G4160 τέρατα, G5059 καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 τελευτῇ G5054 θαυμάσια G2297 τὰ G3588 ἔργα G2041 αὐτοῦ. G846 [15] Ἐν G1722 πᾶσιν G3956 τούτοις G5125 οὐ G3756 μετενόησεν G3340 ὁ G3588 λαὸς G2992 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἀπέστησαν G868 ἀπὸ G575 τῶν G3588 ἁμαρτιῶν G266 αὐτῶν, G846 ἕως G2193 ἐπρονομεύθησαν ἀπὸ G575 γῆς G1093 αὐτῶν G846 καὶ G2532 διεσκορπίσθησαν G1287 ἐν G1722 πάσῃ G3956 τῇ G3588 γῇ. G1093 [16] Καὶ G2532 κατελείφθη G2641 ὁ G3588 λαὸς G2992 ὀλιγοστός, καὶ G2532 ἄρχων G758 ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 οἴκῳ G3624 Δαυιδ· G1138 τινὲς G5100 μὲν G3303 αὐτῶν G846 ἐποίησαν G4160 τὸ G3588 ἀρεστόν, G701 τινὲς G5100 δὲ G1161 ἐπλήθυναν G4129 ἁμαρτίας. G266 [17] Εζεκιας G1478 ὠχύρωσεν τὴν G3588 πόλιν G4172 αὐτοῦ G846 καὶ G2532 εἰσήγαγεν G1521 εἰς G1519 μέσον G3319 αὐτῆς G846 ὕδωρ, G5204 ὤρυξεν G3736 σιδήρῳ G4604 ἀκρότομον καὶ G2532 ᾠκοδόμησεν G3618 κρήνας εἰς G1519 ὕδατα.

G846 [22] Ἐποίησεν G4160 γὰρ G1063 Εζεκιας G1478 τὸ G3588 ἀρεστὸν G701 κυρίῳ G2962 καὶ G2532 ἐνίσχυσεν G1765 ἐν G1722 ὁδοῖς G3598 Δαυιδ G1138 τοῦ G3588 πατρὸς G3962 αὐτοῦ, G846 ἃς G3739 ἐνετείλατο G1781 Ησαιας G2268 ὁ G3588 προφήτης G4396 ὁ G3588 μέγας G3173 καὶ G2532 πιστὸς G4103 ἐν G1722 ὁράσει G3706 αὐτοῦ. G846 [23] Ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 ἡμέραις G2250 αὐτοῦ G846 ἀνεπόδισεν ὁ G3588 ἥλιος G2246 καὶ G2532 προσέθηκεν G4369 ζωὴν G2222 βασιλεῖ. G935 [24] Πνεύματι G4151 μεγάλῳ G3173 εἶδεν G1492 τὰ G3588 ἔσχατα G2078 καὶ G2532 παρεκάλεσεν G3870 τοὺς G3588 πενθοῦντας G3996 ἐν G1722 Σιων. G4622 [25] Ἕως G2193 τοῦ G3588 αἰῶνος G165 ὑπέδειξεν G5263 τὰ G3588 ἐσόμενα G2071 καὶ G2532 τὰ G3588 ἀπόκρυφα G614 πρὶν G4250 ἢ G2228 παραγενέσθαι G3854 αὐτά. G846
