In context
1And Elias the prophet stood up, as a fire, and his word burnt like a torch.
2He brought a famine upon them, and they that provoked him in their envy, were reduced to a small number, for they could not endure the commandments of the Lord.
3By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and he brought down fire from heaven thrice.
4Thus was Elias magnified in his wondrous works. And who can glory like to thee?
