You anointed kings to inflict retribution,
    and prophets to succeed you.[a]
You were taken up by a whirlwind of fire,
    in a chariot with horses of fire.

    to calm the wrath of God before it breaks out in fury,
to turn the hearts of parents to their children,
    and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
