1 Kings 18:27-29

27And at noon Elijah ridiculed them and said, “Call out with a loud voice, since he is a god; undoubtedly he is attending to business, or is on the way, or is on a journey. Perhaps he is asleep, and will awaken.” 28So they cried out with a loud voice, and 1cut themselves according to their custom with swords and lances until blood gushed out on them. 29When midday was past, they raved 2until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice; but there was no voice, no one answered, and 3no one paid attention.
