1 Re 17:1-6

Listen to 1 Re 17:1-6
1 Elia, il Tishbita, uno di quelli che s’erano stabiliti in Galaad, disse ad Achab: "Com’è vero che vive l’Eterno, l’Iddio d’Israele, di cui io son servo, non vi sarà né rugiada né pioggia in questi anni, se non alla mia parola".
2 E la parola dell’Eterno gli fu rivolta, in questi termini:
3 "Partiti di qua, volgiti verso oriente, e nasconditi presso al torrente Kerith, che è dirimpetto al Giordano.
4 Tu berrai al torrente, ed io ho comandato ai corvi che ti dian quivi da mangiare".
5 Egli dunque partì, e fece secondo la parola dell’Eterno: andò, e si stabilì presso il torrente Kerith, che è dirimpetto al Giordano.
6 E i corvi gli portavano del pane e della carne la mattina, e del pane e della carne la sera; e beveva al torrente.
