1 Kings 19:9-11

Modern English Version

Elijah Hears the Lord

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.
