12 At this she said: “As Jehovah your God is living,+ I have no round cake,*+ but a handful+ of flour in the large jar and a little oil+ in the small jar; and here I am gathering up a few* pieces of wood, and I must go in and make something for myself and my son, and we shall have to eat it and die.”+

21 Sinners are the ones whom calamity pursues,+ but the righteous are the ones whom good rewards.+
