And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Kings. Elijah suddenly appears before Ahab and announces that there will be no rain except according to his word. He then receives the command to hide beside the brook Cherith, where ravens feed him. The prophet enters the scene as the spokesman for a word that directly confronts royal power. The drought is presented not merely as a climatic phenomenon, but as a sign against Baal worship and Israel’s unfaithfulness.

Tu boiras de l'eau du torrent, et j'ai ordonné aux corbeaux de te nourrir là.
E tu berrai del torrente, ed io ho comandato a’ corvi che ti nudriscano quivi.
E há de ser que beberás do ribeiro; e eu tenho ordenado aos corvos que ali te sustentem.
你要喝那溪裏的水,我已吩咐烏鴉在那裏供養你。」
