1 Kings 19:11-13
New English Translation
11 The Lord[a] said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord. Look, the Lord is ready to pass by.”
A very powerful wind went before the Lord, digging into the mountain and causing landslides,[b] but the Lord was not in the wind. After the windstorm there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake, there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a soft whisper.[c] 13 When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his robe and went out and stood at the entrance to the cave. Suddenly[d] a voice asked him, “Why are you here, Elijah?”
