41 Então disse Elias a Acabe: Sobe, come e bebe, porque há ruído de uma abundante chuva.

42 E Acabe subiu a comer e a beber; mas Elias subiu ao cume do Carmelo, e se inclinou por terra, e pôs o seu rosto entre os seus joelhos.

43 E disse ao seu servo: Sobe agora, e olha para o lado do mar. E subiu, e olhou, e disse: Não há nada. Então disse ele: Volta lá sete vezes.

44 E sucedeu que, à sétima vez, disse: Eis aqui uma pequena nuvem, como a mão de um homem, subindo do mar. Então disse ele: Sobe, e dize a Acabe: Aparelha o teu carro, e desce, para que a chuva não te impeça.

45 E sucedeu que, entretanto, os céus se enegreceram com nuvens e vento, e veio uma grande chuva; e Acabe subiu ao carro, e foi para Jizreel.

41 And Elijah said to Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of abundance of rain.

42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, and he bowed himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees.

43 And he said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.

44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, a cloud rises out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Make ready [thy chariot], and get thee down, that the rain not stop thee.

45 And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
