12. "As surely as the Lord your God lives," she replied, "I don’t have any food; only a handful of flour in a jar and a bit of oil in a bottle. Look at me. I’m collecting two sticks so that I can make some food for myself and my son. We’ll eat the last of the food and then die."
13. Elijah said to her, "Don’t be afraid! Go and do what you said. Only make a little loaf of bread for me first. Then bring it to me. You can make something for yourself and your son after that.
14. This is what Israel’s God, the Lord, says: The jar of flour won’t decrease and the bottle of oil won’t run out until the day the Lord sends rain on the earth."
15. The widow went and did what Elijah said. So the widow, Elijah, and the widow’s household ate for many days.
16. The jar of flour didn’t decrease nor did the bottle of oil run out, just as the Lord spoke through Elijah.
