²⁰ And if you say, Where will our food come from in the seventh year, when we may not put in seed, or get in the increase

²⁹ And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.

⁴ But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut.

⁵ Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

⁶ So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

⁶ Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.

²⁶ And he said to them, Why are you full of fear, O you of little faith? Then he got up and gave orders to the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

²⁵ So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

²⁶ See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

²⁷ And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself a cubit taller?

²⁸ And why are you troubled about clothing? See the flowers of the field, how they come up; they do no work, they make no thread:

²⁹ But I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.

³⁰ But if God gives such clothing to the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is put into the oven, will he not much more give you clothing, O you of little faith?

³¹ Then do not be full of care, saying, What are we to have for food or drink? or, With what may we be clothed?

³² Because the Gentiles go in search of all these things: for your Father in heaven has knowledge that you have need of all these things:

³³ But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.

³⁴ Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

² Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.

¹⁹ They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?

²⁰ See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

⁹ Then Amaziah said to the man of God, But what is to be done about the hundred talents which I have given for the armed band of Israel? And the man of God in answer said, God is able to give you much more than this.

² Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

¹⁵ Now the servant of the man of God, having got up early and gone out, saw an army with horses and carriages of war all round the town. And the servant said to him, O my master, what are we to do?

¹⁶ And he said in answer, Have no fear; those who are with us are more than those who are with them.

¹⁷ Then Elisha made a prayer to the Lord, saying, Lord, let his eyes be open so that he may see. And the Lord made the young man's eyes open; and he saw that all the mountain was full of horses and carriages of fire round Elisha.

¹³ Where am I to get flesh to give to all this people? For they are weeping to me and saying, Give us flesh for our food.

⁴ And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?
