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 After some time, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
8 The word of the Lord came to him, saying,
9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there. I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”
10 So he got up and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, “Please get a small cup of water for me to drink.”
11 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
12 She said, “As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, but only a handful of meal in a barrel and a little oil in a jar. I am gathering two sticks, that I can go in and make it for me and my son, so we may eat it and die.”
