The Lord told him,
And Abraham called the name of that place “The Lord provides.” It is said to this day, “In the mountain of the Lord provision will be made.”
The Lord told him:
After a while, the stream dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
“Get up, go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there. I have already told a widow who lives there to provide for you.”
The oppressed and the poor look for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched from thirst. I, the Lord, will respond to their prayers; I, the God of Israel, will not abandon them.
So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
