1 Kings 17:12 in Context — 1 Kings 17

10 Então ele se levantou, e se foi a Sarepta. E quando chegou à porta da cidade, eis que uma mulher viúva que estava ali colhendo gravetos; e ele a chamou, e disse-lhe: Rogo-te que me tragas um pouco de água em um vaso, para que beba.

11 E indo ela para trazê-la, ele a voltou a chamar, e disse-lhe: Rogo-te que me tragas também um bocado de pão em tua mão.

12 E ela respondeu: Vive o SENHOR Deus teu, que não tenho pão cozido; que somente um punhado de farinha tenho no jarro, e um pouco de azeite em uma botija: e agora cozia dois gravetos, para entrar-me e prepará-lo para mim e para meu filho, e que o comamos, e morramos.

13 E Elias lhe disse: Não tenhas temor; vai, face como disseste: porém faze-me a mim primeiro disso uma pequena torta cozida debaixo da cinza, e traze-a a mim; e depois farás para ti e para teu filho.

14 Porque o SENHOR Deus de Israel disse assim: O jarro da farinha não esvaziará, nem se diminuirá a botija do azeite, até aquele dia que o SENHOR dará chuva sobre a face da terra.
