1 Kings 19:10–14

¹⁰And he said, “^aI have been very zealous for Yahweh, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, ^bpulled down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And ^cI alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”

¹¹So He said, “^aGo forth and stand on the mountain before Yahweh.” And behold, Yahweh was passing by! And ^ba great and strong wind was tearing up the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.

¹²Then after the earthquake a fire, but Yahweh was not in the fire; and after the fire ^aa sound of a thin ¹gentle whisper.

¹³Now it happened that when Elijah heard it, ^ahe wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, ^ba voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

¹⁴Then he said, “^aI have been very zealous for Yahweh, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, pulled down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
