You anointed kings to inflict retribution,
    and prophets to succeed you.[a]
You were taken up by a whirlwind of fire,
    in a chariot with horses of fire.
10 At the appointed time, it is written, you are destined[b]
    to calm the wrath of God before it breaks out in fury,
to turn the hearts of parents to their children,
    and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
