1 Kings 19:6-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. He looked, and there was a cake baked on coals and a jar of water at his head. And he ate and drank and then lay down again.

7. The angel of the Lord came again a second time and touched him and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”

8. He arose and ate and drank and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mountain of God.

9. He came to a cave and camped there, and the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “Why are you here, Elijah?”

10. And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, Lord of Hosts, for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek to take my life.”

11. He said, “Go and stand on the mountain before the Lord.”And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind split the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake came, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.

12. And after the earthquake, a fire came, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire, a still, small voice.

13. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood in the entrance to the cave.And a voice came to him and said, “Why are you here, Elijah?”
