Sirach 48:12–16

For we live only in our life, but after death our name shall not be such. 13Elias was indeed covered with the whirlwind, and his spirit was filled up in Eliseus: in his days he feared not the prince, and no man was more powerful than he. 14No word could overcome him, and after death his body prophesied. 15In his life he did great wonders, and in death he wrought miracles. 16For all this the people repented not, neither did they depart from their sins till they were cast out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth.
