1 Kings 18:27

---

← 1 Kings 18:26	1 Kings 18:27 (KJV)	1 Kings 18:28 →
And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed [it], and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But [there was] no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.	And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he [is] a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, [or] peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.	And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
