1 Kings 18:12-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. And when I will have departed from you, the Spirit of the Lord will transport you to a place that I do not know. And entering, I will report to Ahab. And he, not finding you, will put me to death. Yet your servant has feared the Lord from his infancy.

13. Has it not been revealed to you, my lord, what I did when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord: how I hid one hundred men from the prophets of the Lord, fifty and fifty, in caves, and how I fed them with bread and water?

14. And now you say: 'Go and tell your lord that Elijah is here,' so that he may kill me!"

15. And Elijah said, "As the Lord of hosts lives, before whose face I stand, this day I will appear to him."

16. Therefore, Obadiah went away to meet Ahab, and he reported to him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.

17. And when he had seen him, he said, "Are you the one who is disturbing Israel?"

18. And he said: "I have not troubled Israel. But it is you, and the house of your father, who have abandoned the commandments of the Lord, and have followed the Baals.
