1 Kings 18:26-29 And they took the ox that was given them and dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning to noon saying, "O Baal, hear us!" But there was no voice nor answer. And they leapt about the altar that they had made.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ And they took the ox that was given them and dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning to noon saying, "O Baal, hear us!" But there was no voice nor answer. And they leapt about the altar that they had made. ²⁷ And at noon Elijah mocked them, and said, "Call loud, for he is a god: but he is talking, or occupied, or in the way, or haply he sleepeth, that he may awake!" ²⁸ And they cried loud and cut themselves, as their manner was, with knives and lances, till the blood flowed on them. ²⁹ And when midday was passed, they prophesied until it was time to offer. But there was neither voice nor answer nor any that regarded them.
