10 So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.” 11 As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.” 12 But she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die.” ~ 1 Kings 17:10-12 NASB1995

13 Then Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son. 14 For thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘The bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain on the face of the earth.’”~ 1 Kings 17:13-14 NASB1995
15 So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The [a]bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil [b]become empty, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke through Elijah. ~ 1 Kings 17:15-16 NASB1995
