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[a]
    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.
11 Happy are those who saw you
    and were adorned[b] with your love!
    For we also shall surely live.[c]
