કેમ કે ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વર યહોવાહ એવું કહે છે કે, ‘દિવસે હું ભૂમિ પર વરસાદ વરસાવીશ, ત્યાં સુધી માટલીમાંનો લોટ અને કૂંડીમાંનું તેલ ખૂટી જશે નહિ.’”
हिन्दी1 राजाओं १७:१४
क्योंकि इस्राएल का परमेश्वर यहोवा यह कहता है, कि जब तक यहोवा भूमि पर मेंह न बरसाएगा तब तक न तो उस घड़े का मैदा समाप्त होगा, और न उस कुप्पी का तेल घटेगा।”

13Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your son.
