27And it happened at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry out with a loud voice, for he is a god. For he is musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey. Perhaps he is sleeping and will awake.”

28So they cried out with a loud voice and cut themselves according to their custom with swords and spears until the blood gushed out on them.

29And it happened, when noon had passed, that they kept prophesying until the offering up of the grain offering, but there was no voice, no one answering, and no one paying attention.
