1 Kings 18:26-29

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁶ Then they took the ox which ^[a]was given them and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon saying, “O Baal, answer us.” But there was ^(A)no voice and no one answered. And they ^[b]limped about the altar which ^[c]they had made. ²⁷ Now it happened at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or relieving himself, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened.” ²⁸ So they cried with a loud voice and ^(B)gashed themselves according to their custom with swords and lances until the blood gushed out on them. ²⁹ Now it happened when noon had passed, that they prophesied ^(C)until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice; but there was no voice, no one answered, and no ^[d]one paid attention.
