Psalm 4:2-8
2 When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.
3 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false?
4 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
5 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds.
6 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, "Who reveals to us what is good?"
7 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
8 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied. 
1 Kings 17:7-16
7 But after some days, the torrent dried up. For it had not rained upon the earth.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
9 "Rise up, and go to Zarephath of the Sidonians, and dwell there. For I have instructed a widowed woman there to feed you."
10 He rose up and went away to Zarephath. And when he had arrived at the gate of the city, he saw the widowed woman collecting wood, and he called to her. And he said to her, "Give me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink."
11 And as she was going to bring it, he called out after her, saying, "Bring me also, I beg you, a morsel of bread in your hand."
12 And she responded: "As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a bottle. See, I am collecting a couple of sticks, so that I may go in and make it for myself and my son, so that we may eat it and die."
13 And Elijah said to her: "Do not be afraid. But go and do as you have said. Yet truly, first make for me, from the same flour, a little bread baked under ashes, and bring it to me. Then afterward, make some for yourself and for your son.
14 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: 'The jar of flour will not fail, nor the bottle of oil be diminished, until the day when the Lord will grant rain upon the face of the earth.' "
15 She went and acted in accord with the word of Elijah. And he ate, and she and her household ate. And from that day,
16 the jar of flour did not fail, and the bottle of oil was not diminished, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Elijah.
