13When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then a voice addressed him: “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

14He replied, “I have been very zealous for Yahweh, the God of hosts, because the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are trying to take my life.”
