³⁶ then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

¹¹ Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

²³ Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

¹⁶ Thus says Yahweh, Stand you in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk [therein].

¹ It happened after many days, that the word of Yahweh came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.

⁴⁵ It happened in a little while, that the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:

⁴ Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths.

⁵ Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long.

¹² Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, And teach out of your law;

²² Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, Yahweh our God? therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

¹⁷ Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn't rain on the earth for three years and six months.

¹⁸ He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.

¹⁶ They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter who you teach, for you aren't partial to anyone.

² Many nations will go and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, And to the house of the God of Jacob; And he will teach us of his ways, And we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion will go forth the law, And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem;

³ that Yahweh your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do.

⁸ A highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but is shall be for for him who walks in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.

²⁶ When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you do afflict them:

²⁷ then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

⁸ Lead me, Yahweh, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before my face.

⁸ Good and upright is Yahweh, Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.

¹² What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

⁸ I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

⁹ You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.

¹¹ Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.

³³ Teach me, Yahweh, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end.

⁸ Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, For I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to you.

²¹ and your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it; when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.

²⁷ It happened at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god: either he is musing, or he is gone aside, or he is on a journey, or peradventure he sleeps and must be awakened.

²⁸ They cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.

²⁹ It was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the [evening] offering; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any who regarded.

³⁰ Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me; and all the people came near to him. He repaired the altar of Yahweh that was thrown down.

³¹ Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Yahweh came, saying, Israel shall be your name.

³² With the stones he built an altar in the name of Yahweh; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

³³ He put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. He said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering, and on the wood.

³⁴ He said, Do it the second time; and they did it the second time. He said, Do it the third time; and they did it the third time.

³⁵ The water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.

³⁶ It happened at the time of the offering of the [evening] offering, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.

³⁷ Hear me, Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and [that] you have turned their heart back again.

³⁸ Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

³⁹ When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, Yahweh, he is God; Yahweh, he is God.

⁴⁰ and Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal; don't let one of them escape. They took them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there.
