In context — 1 Kings 19:11
He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD .” And behold, the LORD was passing by: a great and strong wind was tearing the mountains apart and shattering the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind came an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
