6 And sure enough, ravens brought him his meals, both breakfast and supper, and he drank from the brook.

8 Then God spoke to him:

10 So he got up and went to Zarephath. As he came to the entrance of the village he met a woman, a widow, gathering firewood. He asked her, "Please, would you bring me a little water in a jug? I need a drink."
