CHAP. XLVIII.
1 The praise of Elias, 12 of Elizeus, 17 and
of Ezekias.
1
Then stood vp note Elias the
Prophet as fire, and his
word burnt like a lampe.
2
He brought a sore famine
vpon them, and by
his zeale he diminished their number.
3
By the word of the Lord he note shut
vp the heauen, note and also three times
brought downe fire.
4
O Elias, how wast thou honoured
in thy wondrous deedes! and who
may glory like vnto thee!
5
noteWho didst raise vp a dead man
from death, ∧ his soule from the note place
of the dead by the word of the most Hie.
6
noteWho broughtest kings to destruction,
and honourable men from their
note bedde.
7
Who heardest the rebuke of the
Lord in Sinai, note and in Horeb the iudgment
of vengeance.
8
noteWho anointed kings to take reuenge,
∧ Prophets to succeed after him:
9
noteWho wast taken vp in a whirlewinde
of fire, and in a charet of fierie
horses:
10
Who wast note ordained note 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 note restore
the tribes of Iacob.
11
Blessed are they that saw thee,
and note slept in loue, for we shal surely liue.
12
noteElias 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.
13
noteNo word could ouercome him,
note ∧ after his death his body prophecied.
14
He did wonders in his life, and at
his death were his works marueilous.
15
For all this the people repented
not, neither departed they from their
sinnes, note 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:
16
Of whom, some did that which
was pleasing to God, and some multiplied
sinnes.
17
noteEzekias fortified his citie, and
brought in water into the midst thereof:
he digged the hard rocke with yron,
and made welles for waters.
18
In his time note Sennacherib came
vp, and sent Rabsaces, and lift vp his
hand against Sion, ∧ boasted proudly.
19
Then trembled their hearts and
handes, and they were in paine as women
in trauell.
20
But 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 note ministery
of Esay.
21
noteHe smote the hoste of the Assyrians,
and his Angel destroyed them.
22
For Ezekias had done the thing
that pleased the Lord, and was strong
in the wayes of Dauid his father, as
Esay the Prophet, who was great and
faithfull in his vision, had commaunded
him.
23
noteIn his time the Sunne went
backeward, and hee lengthened the
kings life.
-- --
24
Hee sawe by an excellent spirit
what should come to passe at the last,
and hee comforted them that mourned
in Sion.
25
He shewed what should come to
passe for euer, and secret things or euer
they came.
