10     It is recorded that you are ready
    for the designated times,
        to calm anger before it turns to wrath,
        to turn the heart of a father to his son,
        and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
11 Happy are those who saw you
    and who have fallen asleep[a]
    in your love,
    for we will surely live as well.

    and Elisha was filled with his spirit.[b]
In his time, he didn’t tremble
before any ruler,
    and no one oppressed him.
