2 Kings 4:4-7
New English Translation
4 Go and close the door behind you and your sons. Pour the olive oil into all the containers;[a] set aside each one when you have filled it.” 5 So she left him and closed the door behind her and her sons. As they were bringing the containers to her, she was pouring the olive oil. 6 When the containers were full, she said to one of her sons,[b] “Bring me another container.” But he answered her, “There are no more.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing. 7 She went and told the prophet.[c] He said, “Go, sell the olive oil. Repay your creditor, and then you and your sons can live off the rest of the profit.”
