*
And he said ,
I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts :
for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant ,
thrown down thine altars ,
and slain thy prophets with the sword ;
and I ,
even I only ,
am left ;
and they seek my life ,
to take it away .
*
And he said ,
Go forth ,
and stand upon the mount before the LORD .
And ,
behold ,
the LORD passed by ,
and a great and strong wind rent the mountains ,
and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD ;
but the LORD was not in the wind :
and after the wind an earthquake ra #
ash #;
but the LORD was not in the earthquake ra #
ash #:
*
And after the earthquake a fire ;
but the LORD was not in the fire :
and after the fire a still small voice .
*
And it was so ,
when Elijah heard it ,
that he wrapped his face in his mantle ,
and went out ,
and stood in the entering in of the cave m @#
arah #.
And ,
behold ,
there came a voice unto him ,
and said ,
What doest thou here ,
Elijah ?

And the LORD said unto him ,
Go ,
return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus :
and when thou comest ,
anoint Hazael to be king over Syria :
*
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel Yisra #
el #:
and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah #
Abelshalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay :
and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay .
*
Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel Yisra #
el #,
all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal Ba #
al #,
and every mouth which hath not kissed him .
