Sirach 48:11
King James VersionSource notes
“Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live.”
Context
8Who annointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to succeed after him:
9Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses:
10Who 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.
11Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live.
12Elias 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.
13No word could overcome him; and after his death his body prophesied.
14He did wonders in his life, and at his death were his works marvellous.
