8 Alors la parole de l’Éternel lui fut adressée en ces mots:

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.
