48 Then Eliyah (Elijah) arose, the prophet like fire.

His word burnt 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 master he shut up the heavens.

He brought down fire three times.

4 How you were glorified, Oh Eliyah, in your wondrous actions!

Whose glory is like yours?

5 You raised up a dead man from death,

from Haidais, by the word of the Most High.

6 You brought down kings to destruction,

and honourable men from their sickbeds.

7 You heard rebuke in Sinay,

and judgements of vengeance in Horev.

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 Ya’akov (Jacob).

11 Blessed are those who saw you,

and those who have been beautified with love;

for we also shall surely live.
