⁵⁴ And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord, may we send fire from heaven and put an end to them?

¹⁰ And Elijah in answer said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. Then fire came down from heaven and put an end to him and his fifty men.

¹¹ Then the king sent another captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he said to Elijah, O man of God, the king says, Come down quickly.

¹² And Elijah in answer said, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and put an end to him and his fifty men.

¹³ Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men; and the third captain of fifty went up, and falling on his knees before Elijah, requesting mercy of him, said, O man of God, let my life and the life of these your fifty servants be of value to you.

¹⁴ For fire came down from heaven and put an end to the first two captains of fifty and their fifties; but now let my life be of value in your eyes.

¹⁹ You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

²⁰ For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

¹⁵ This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

¹⁶ For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

²⁹ And now, Lord, take note of their cruel words, and give your servants power to be preachers of your word without fear,

³⁰ While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.

² Then the king sent for the Gibeonites; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but were the last of the Amorites, to whom the children of Israel had given an oath; but Saul, in his passion for the children of Israel and Judah, had made an attempt on their lives:)

¹⁶ And he said, Come with me and see how I am on fire for the Lord's cause. So he made him go with him in his carriage.

³¹ But Jehu did not take care to keep the law of the Lord with all his heart: he did not keep himself from the sin which Jeroboam did and made Israel do.

³ And I saw one of his heads as if it had been given a death-wound; and his death-wound was made well: and all the earth was wondering at the beast.
