2And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, saying,
3Depart hence eastward, and hide thee by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.
4And it shall be that thou shalt drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed thee there.
5And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan.
6And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening, and he drank water of the brook.
7And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
8And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, saying,
9Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian land: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain thee.
10And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11And she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of the bread that is in thy hand.
12And the woman said, As the Lord thy God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.
13And Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to thy word: but make me thereof a little cake, and thou shalt bring it out to me first, and thou shalt make some for thyself and thy children last.
14For thus saith the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.
