*
And he came there to a cave ,
and lodged there ;
and ,
look ,
the word of Yahweh came to him ,
and he said to him ,
What are you doing here ,
Elijah ?
*
And he said ,
I have been very jealous for Yahweh ,
the God of hosts ;
for the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant ,
thrown down your altars ,
and slain your 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 on the mount before Yahweh .
And ,
look ,
Yahweh passed by ,
and a great and strong wind rent the mountains ,
and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh ;
but Yahweh was not in the wind :
and after the wind an earthquake ;
but Yahweh was not in the earthquake :
*
and after the earthquake a fire ;
but Yahweh 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 entrance of the cave .
And ,
look ,
there came a voice to him ,
and said ,
What are you doing here ,
Elijah ?
*
And he said ,
I have been very jealous for Yahweh ,
the God of hosts ;
for the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant ,
thrown down your altars ,
and slain your prophets with the sword ;
and I ,
even I only ,
am left ;
and they seek my life ,
to take it away .
*
And Yahweh said to him ,
Go ,
return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus :
and when you come ,
you will anoint Hazael to be king over Syria ;
*
and Jehu the son of Nimshi you will anoint to be king over Israel ;
and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you will anoint to be prophet in your place .
*
And it will come to pass ,
that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael ,
Jehu will slay ;
and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu ,
Elisha will slay .
*
Yet I will leave [
me ]
seven thousand in Israel ,
all the knees which haven '
t bowed to Baal ,
and every mouth which has not kissed him .
