Elisha continues Eliyah’s work

48:12 Elisha continues Eliyah’s work

12 Eliyah (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 marvellous in death.

15 Because 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.
