Sirach 48:10-12
Common English Bible
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.
Elisha
12 Elijah was covered by the whirlwind,
and Elisha was filled with his spirit.[b]
In his time, he didn’t tremble
before any ruler,
and no one oppressed him.
