Elijah mocked the prophets of Baal:
Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.
1 Kings 18:27
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
Psalm 13:1
| 26 And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made. |
| 27 And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.” |
| 28 And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them. |
