The <sc>Lordsc> says,<n id="1" /> &#8216;Look, I am ready to bring disaster<n id="2" /> on you. I will destroy you<n id="3" /> and cut off every last male belonging to Ahab in Israel, including even the weak and incapacitated.<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;The time will come when<n id="1" /> the skies are shut up tightly and no rain falls because your people<n id="2" /> sinned against you. When they direct their prayers toward this place, renew their allegiance to you,<n id="3" /> and turn away from their sin because you punish<n id="4" /> them,

So I am ready to bring disaster<n id="1" /> on the dynasty<n id="2" /> of Jeroboam. I will cut off every last male belonging to Jeroboam in Israel, including even the weak and incapacitated.<n id="3" /> I will burn up the dynasty of Jeroboam, just as one burns manure until it is completely consumed.<n id="4" />

The seventh time the servant<n id="1" /> said, &#8220;Look, a small cloud, the size of the palm of a man&#8217;s hand, is rising up from the sea.&#8221; Elijah<n id="2" /> then said, &#8220;Go and tell Ahab, &#8216;Hitch up the chariots and go down, so that the rain won&#8217;t overtake you.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="3" />
