Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 48:12

Ἠλίας, ὃς ἐν λαίλαπι ἐσκεπάσθη, καὶ Ἐλισαιὲ ἐνεπλήσθη πνεύματος αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐν ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐσαλεύθη ὑπὸ ἄρχοντος, καὶ οὐ κατεδυνάστευσεν αὐτὸν οὐδείς.
King James Version (KJV)

Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection.

Modern English

Elijah was wrapped in a whirlwind, and Elisha was filled with his spirit; while he lived, he was unmoved by the presence of any ruler, and no one could bring him under their power.
