1 Kings 17:12-16

12But she said, “1As the Lord your God lives, 2I have no food, only a handful of flour in the 3bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering 4a few sticks so that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son, so that we may 5eat it and 6die.” 13However, Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go, do as you have said. Just make me a little bread loaf from 7it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son. 14For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘The 8bowl of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil become empty, until the day that the Lord provides rain on the face of the earth.’” 15So she went and did everything in accordance with the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16The 9bowl of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil become empty, in accordance with the word of the Lord which He spoke through Elijah.
