    4 The water of the stream will be your drink, and by my orders the ravens will give you food there.

    5 So he went and did as the Lord said, living by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.

    6 And the ravens took him bread in the morning and meat in the evening; and the water of the stream was his drink.

    7 Now after a time the stream became dry, because there was no rain in the land.

    8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

    9 Up! go now to Zarephath, in Zidon, and make your living-place there; I have given orders to a widow woman there to see that you have food.

    10 So he got up and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the door of the town, he saw a widow woman getting sticks together; and crying out to her he said, Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?

    11 And when she was going to get it, he said to her, And get me with it a small bit of bread.

    12 Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.

    13 And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.

    14 For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.

    15 So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time.

    1 Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.

    2 Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.

    3 Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.

    4 Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.

    5 So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.

    6 And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.

    7 So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.
