48
5 Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the
most High:
10 Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord’s judgment, before it
brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of
Jacob.
12 Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived,
he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection.
15 For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and

iron, and made wells for waters.
18 In his time Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against Sion, and boasted
proudly.
20 But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately
the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.
22 For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father,
as Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him.
