5 Hij ging dan heen, en deed naar het woord des HEEREN; want hij ging en woonde bij de beek Krith, die voor aan de Jordaan is.
6 En de raven brachten hem des morgens brood en vlees, desgelijks brood en vlees des avonds; en hij dronk uit de beek.
7 En het geschiedde ten einde van vele dagen, dat de beek uitdroogde; want geen regen was in het land geweest.
8 Toen geschiedde het woord des HEEREN tot hem, zeggende:
9 Maak u op, ga heen naar Zarfath, dat bij Sidon is, en woon aldaar; zie, Ik heb daar een weduwvrouw geboden, dat zij u onderhoude.
