1 Kings 19:10–14

¹⁰So he said, ^f“I have been very ^gzealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and ^hkilled Your prophets with the sword. ⁱI alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

God’s Revelation to Elijah

¹¹Then He said, “Go out, and stand ^jon the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord ^kpassed by, and ^la great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; ¹²and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire ⁵a still small voice.

¹³So it was, when Elijah heard it, that ^mhe wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. ⁿSuddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

^14oAnd he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”
