1  And the prophet Elijah arose like a fire, and his word burned like a torch.

1  Then stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned like a lamp.

2  He brought a famine upon them, and those who provoked him in their envy became few. For they could not bear the precepts of the Lord.

2  He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.
