41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is a sound of the rushing of rain.”42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Mount Carmel. And he bowed himself down on the earth and put his face between his knees.43 And he said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” And he went up and looked and said, “There is nothing.” And he said, “Go again,” seven times.44 And at the seventh time he said, “Behold, a little cloud like a man's hand is rising from the sea.” And he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you.’”45 And in a little while the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode and went to Jezreel.

James 5
17 Elia era un uomo sottoposto alle stesse passioni che noi, e pregò ardentemente che non piovesse, e non piovve sulla terra per tre anni e sei mesi.18 Pregò di nuovo, e il cielo diede la pioggia, e la terra produsse il suo frutto.
