Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

1 Kings 17
⁵ So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.
⁶ The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
⁷ And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
⁸ Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
⁹ "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."
¹⁰ So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, "Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink."
¹¹ And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand."
¹² So she said, "As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
¹³ And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son.
¹⁴ For thus says the Lord God of Israel: ’The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth.’ "
¹⁵ So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days.
