17 And (A)Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now (B)Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon (C)it in fire. (D)Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and [a]the (E)whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, (F)Moses spoke, and (G)God answered him by voice.

God’s Revelation to Elijah

11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand (A)on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord (B)passed by, and (C)a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire [a]a still small voice.

13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that (D)he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. (E)Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

14 (F)And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

15 Then the Lord said to him: “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; (G)and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria. 16 Also you shall anoint (H)Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And (I)Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. 17 (J)It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will (K)kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, (L)Elisha will kill. 18 (M)Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, (N)and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
