1 Kings 17:12 in Context — 1 Kings 17
10 Il se leva, et il alla à Sarepta. Comme il arrivait à l’entrée de la ville, voici, il y avait là une femme veuve qui ramassait du bois. Il l’appela, et dit: Va me chercher, je te prie, un peu d’eau dans un vase, afin que je boive.
11 Et elle alla en chercher. Il l’appela de nouveau, et dit: Apporte-moi, je te prie, un morceau de pain dans ta main.
12 Et elle répondit: L’Éternel, ton Dieu, est vivant! Je n’ai rien de cuit, je n’ai qu’une poignée de farine dans un pot et un peu d’huile dans une cruche. Et voici, je ramasse deux morceaux de bois, puis je rentrerai et je préparerai cela pour moi et pour mon fils; nous mangerons, après quoi nous mourrons.
13 Élie lui dit: Ne crains point, rentre, fais comme tu as dit. Seulement, prépare-moi d’abord avec cela un petit gâteau, et tu me l’apporteras; tu en feras ensuite pour toi et pour ton fils.
14 Car ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël: La farine qui est dans le pot ne manquera point et l’huile qui est dans la cruche ne diminuera point, jusqu’au jour où l’Éternel fera tomber de la pluie sur la face du sol.
