1 Kings 19:11-12

“Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake a fire; but Yahweh was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a still small voice.”
