12 But she said, “(A)As the Lord your God lives, (B)I have no food, only a handful of flour in the [a]bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering [b]a few sticks so that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son, so that we may [c]eat it and (C)die.” 13 However, Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go, do as you have said. Just make me a little bread loaf from [d]it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘The [e]bowl of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil become empty, until the day that the Lord provides rain on the face of the earth.’”
