← 1 Kings 18:27	1 Kings 18:28 (KJV)	1 Kings 18:29 →
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.	And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that [there was] neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
