I have commanded the ravens to feed you there." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>So he went and did according to the word of the LORD; for he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, that is near the Jordan. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening. And he drank from the wadi. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And it happened after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>The word of the LORD came to him, saying, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>"Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>So he got up and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering wood. And he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a pitcher, that I may drink." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And as she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>She said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>And Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid.

And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>The jar of flour did not empty, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>And she said to Elijah, "What do we have in common, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And he said to her, "Give me your son."

And Elijah said, "See, your son lives." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/1_kings/17-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth."<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
