And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 19 of 1 Kings. Elijah reaches Horeb and enters a cave. God asks him what he is doing there, and the prophet expresses his perception of abandonment and failure. The divine response begins with wind, earthquake, and fire, but the Lord is not simply identified with these phenomena; afterward comes a gentle sound, and Elijah hears the question again. The scene shifts expectations from spectacular manifestation toward a deeper experience of divine presence.

Und nach dem Erdbeben kam ein Feuer; aber der HERR war nicht im Feuer. Und nach dem Feuer kam ein stilles, sanftes Sausen.
Y tras el terremoto un fuego: mas Jehová no estaba en el fuego. Y tras el fuego un silvo apacible y delicado.
Después del terremoto hubo fuego, pero Jehová no estaba en el fuego. Después del fuego hubo un suave susurro.
Et après le tremblement de terre, un feu: l'Eternel n'était pas dans le feu. Et après le feu, un murmure doux et léger.
E dopo il tremuoto, veniva un fuoco; ma il Signore non era nel fuoco. E dopo il fuoco, veniva un suono sommesso e sottile.
E depois do terremoto um fogo; porém também o SENHOR não estava no fogo; e depois do fogo uma voz mansa e delicada.
地震後有火,耶和華也不在火中;火以後,有輕微細小的聲音。
