CHAP. XLVIII.
1 The praise of Elias, 12 of Elizeus, 17 and of Ezekias.
1Then stood vp Elias the Prophet as fire, and his word burnt like a lampe.1
2He brought a sore famine vpon them, and by his zeale he diminished their number.
3By the word of the Lord he shut vp the heauen, and also three times brought downe fire.3
4O Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deedes! and who may glory like vnto thee!
5Who didst raise vp a dead man from death, & his soule from the place of the dead by the word of the most Hie.5
6Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honourable men from their bedde.6
7Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the iudgment of vengeance.7
8Who anointed kings to take reuenge, & Prophets to succeed after him:8
9Who wast taken vp in a whirlewinde of fire, and in a charet of fierie horses:9
10Who wast ordained for reproofes in their times, to pacifie the wrath of the Lordes iudgement before it brake foorth into fury, and to turne the heart of the father vnto the sonne, and to restore the tribes of Iacob.10
11Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in loue, for we shal surely liue.11
12Elias it was, who was couered with a whirlewinde: and Elizeus was filled with his spirit: whilest he liued he was not mooued [with the presence] of any prince, neither could any bring him into subiection.12
13No word could ouercome him, & after his death his body prophecied.13
14He did wonders in his life, and at his death were his works marueilous.
15For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sinnes, till they were spoiled and caried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of Dauid:15
16Of whom, some did that which was pleasing to God, and some multiplied sinnes.
17Ezekias fortified his citie, and brought in water into the midst thereof: he digged the hard rocke with yron, and made welles for waters.17
18In his time Sennacherib came vp, and sent Rabsaces, and lift vp his hand against Sion, & boasted proudly.18
19Then trembled their hearts and handes, and they were in paine as women in trauell.
20But they called vpon the Lord which is mercifull, and stretched out their hands towards him, and immediatly the holy One heard them out of heauen, and deliuered them by the ministery of Esay.20
21He smote the hoste of the Assyrians, and his Angel destroyed them.21
23In his time the Sunne went backeward, and hee lengthened the kings life.23
25He shewed what should come to passe for euer, and secret things or euer they came.
