The First Book of Kings 17: 7-16

17:7 But after some days, the torrent dried up. For it had not rained upon the earth.
17:8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, kasabihan:
17:9 "Umakyat, and go to Zarephath of the Sidonians, and dwell there. For I have instructed a widowed woman there to feed you.”
17:10 He rose up and went away to Zarephath. And when he had arrived at the gate of the city, he saw the widowed woman collecting wood, and he called to her. At sinabi niya sa kanya, “Give me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink.”
17:11 And as she was going to bring it, he called out after her, kasabihan, “Bring me also, pakiusap ko, a morsel of bread in your hand.”
17:12 At siya ay tumugon: “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a bottle. Tingnan mo, I am collecting a couple of sticks, so that I may go in and make it for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die.”
17:13 And Elijah said to her: "Huwag kang matakot. But go and do as you have said. Gayunpaman tunay, first make for me, from the same flour, a little bread baked under ashes, and bring it to me. Pagkatapos pagkatapos, make some for yourself and for your son.
17:14 Sapagkat ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ang Diyos ng Israel: ‘The jar of flour will not fail, nor the bottle of oil be diminished, until the day when the Lord will grant rain upon the face of the earth.’ ”
17:15 She went and acted in accord with the word of Elijah. And he ate, and she and her household ate. And from that day,
17:16 the jar of flour did not fail, and the bottle of oil was not diminished, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon, which he had spoken by the hand of Elijah.
