12 And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.[a] 13 And when Elijah heard it, (A)he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, (B)there came a voice to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 He said, (C)“I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, (D)thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.”
