1 Kings 17:9-16

9“AriseH6965, goH1980 to 1ZarephathH6886, whichH834 belongs to SidonH6721, and stayH3427 thereH8033; beholdH2009, 2I have commandedH6680 a widowH490 thereH8033 to provideH3557 for you.” 10So he aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to ZarephathH6886, and when he cameH935 to the gateH6607 of the cityH5892, beholdH2009, a widowH490 was thereH8033 gatheringH7197 sticksH6086; and 3he calledH7121 to her and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 getH3947 me a littleH4592 waterH4325 in a 4jarH3627, that I may drinkH8354.” 11As she was goingH1980 to getH3947 it, he calledH7121 to her and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 bringH3947 me a pieceH6595 of breadH3899 in your handH3027.” 12But she saidH559, “5As the LordH3068 your GodH430 livesH2416, 6I haveH3426 noH518 7breadH4580, onlyH3588H518 a handfulH4393H3709 of flourH7058 in the 8bowlH3537 and a littleH4592 oilH8081 in the jarH6835; and beholdH2009, I am gatheringH7197 9a fewH8147 sticksH6086 that I may goH935 in and prepareH6213 for me and my sonH1121, that we may eatH398 it and 10dieH4191.” 13Then ElijahH452 saidH559 to her, “Do not fearH3372; goH935, doH6213 as you have saidH1697, but makeH6213 me a littleH6996 breadH5692 cakeH5692 from 11it firstH7223 and bringH3318 it out to me, and afterwardH314 you may makeH6213 one for yourself and for your sonH1121. 14For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, ‘The 12bowlH3537 of flourH7058 shall not be exhaustedH3615, norH3808 shall the jarH6835 of oilH8081 13be emptyH2637, untilH5704 the dayH3117 that the LordH3068 sendsH5414 rainH1653 on the faceH6440 of the earthH127.’” 15So she wentH1980 and didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of ElijahH452, and she and he and her householdH1004 ateH398 for many daysH3117. 16The 14bowlH3537 of flourH7058 was not exhaustedH3615 norH3808 did the jarH6835 of oilH8081 15becomeH2637 emptyH2637, according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He spokeH1696 throughH3027 ElijahH452.
