He went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. 7 But after a while, the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 9 "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you." 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. When he reached the city gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, "Please bring me a little water in a vessel so I may drink." 11 As she was going to fetch it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand as well." 12 But she replied, "As the LORD your God lives, I have nothing baked. I only have a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a couple of sticks to go and prepare it for myself and my son so we may eat it and then die." 13 Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said, but first make a small cake for me from what you have and bring it to me. Then make some for yourself and your son." 14 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not run out, and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain upon the earth.' 15 She went and did according to what Elijah said, and she, Elijah, and her household ate for many days. 16 The jar of flour was not used up, and the jug of oil did not run dry, as the word of the LORD which He spoke through Elijah had declared. 17 After this, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick. His illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. 18 She said to Elijah, "What have I to do with you, man of God? Have you come to bring my sin to remembrance and to kill my son?" 19 Elijah said to her, "Give me your son." He took the boy from her arms, brought him up to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. 20 Then he cried out to the LORD and said, "O LORD my God, have You also brought tragedy upon the widow I am staying with by causing her son to die?" 21 Elijah stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the LORD, "O LORD my God, please let the boy’s life return to him." 22 The LORD heard Elijah’s prayer, and the boy’s life returned to him, and he lived. 23 Elijah took the boy, brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. Elijah said, 'Look, your son is alive.' 24 Then the woman said to Elijah, 'Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth.'

The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. 31 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!" 32 Let the sea resound and everything in it; let the fields be joyful and everything in them. 33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. 34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever. 35 And say, "Save us, O God of our salvation, gather us and deliver us from the nations, so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise." 36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Then all the people said, "Amen" and praised the LORD.
