1 Kings 19:9-10

English Standard Version

The Lord Speaks to Elijah

⁹ There he came to a cave and lodged in it. And behold, ^(A)the word of the Lord came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” ¹⁰ He said, “I have been very ^(B)jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, ^(C)thrown down your altars, and ^(D)killed your prophets with the sword, ^(E)and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.”
