1 Kings 18:21-23

21Then ElijahH452 approachedH5066 allH3605 the peopleH5971 and saidH559, “1HowH4970 longH5704H4970 are you going to 2struggleH6452 with the twoH8147 choicesH5589? 3IfH518 the LordH3068 is GodH430, followH1980H310 Him; but ifH518 BaalH1168, followH1980H310 him.” But the peopleH5971 did not answerH6030 him so much as a wordH1697.

22Then ElijahH452 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “I 4aloneH905 am leftH3498 as a prophetH5030 of the LordH3068, while Baal’sH1168 prophetsH5030 are 5450H702H3967H2572 menH376.

23Now have them giveH5414 us twoH8147 oxenH6499; and have them chooseH977 the oneH259 oxH6499 for themselves and cutH5408 it upH5408, and placeH7760 it on the woodH6086, but putH7760 noH3808 fireH784 under it; and I will prepareH6213 the otherH259 oxH6499 and layH5414 it on the woodH6086, and I will not putH7760 a fireH784 under it.
