1 Kings 17:10-16
10So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and 1he called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a 2jar, that I may drink.” 11As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.” 12But she said, “3As the Lord your God lives, 4I have no 5bread, only a handful of flour in the 6bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering 7a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and 8die.” 13Then Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from 9it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son. 14For thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘The 10bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil 11be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain on the face of the earth.’” 15So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16The 12bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil 13become empty, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke through Elijah.
