1 Kings 19:10–14

¹⁰And he saith, ‘I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant—Thine altars they have thrown down, and Thy prophets they have slain by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.’ ¹¹And He saith, ‘Go out, and thou hast stood in the mount before Jehovah.’ And lo, Jehovah is passing by, and a wind—great and strong—is rending mountains, and shivering rocks before Jehovah:—not in the wind is Jehovah; and after the wind a shaking:—not in the shaking is Jehovah; ¹²and after the shaking a fire:—not in the fire is Jehovah; and after the fire a voice still small; ¹³and it cometh to pass, at Elijah’s hearing it, that he wrappeth his face in his robe, and goeth out, and standeth at the opening of the cave, and lo, unto him is a voice, and it saith, ‘What—to thee, here, Elijah?’ ¹⁴And he saith, ‘I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, Thine altars they have thrown down, and Thy prophets they have slain by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.’
