1 Kings 17:1-7
GOD’S WORD Translation
Elijah Prophesies a Drought

2 Then the Lord spoke his word to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn east, and hide beside the Cherith River, which is east of the Jordan River. 4 You can drink from the stream, and I’ve commanded ravens to feed you there.”

7 But after some time the stream dried up because no rain had fallen in the land.
