menu_book Verse in Context

10 You were recorded for reproofs in their seasons, to pacify anger, before it broke out into wrath, to turn the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.

11 Blessed are those who saw you, and those who have been beautified with love; for we also shall surely live.

12 Elijah was wrapped in a whirlwind. Elisha was filled with his spirit. In his days he was not moved by the fear of any ruler, and no one brought him into subjection.

13 Nothing was too hard for him. When he was buried, his body prophesied.

14 As in his life he did wonders, so his works were also marvelous in death.
