The prophets of Baal call on the name of Baal from morning until noon, and Elijah mocks them

바알의 선지자들이 아침부터 낮까지 바알의 이름을 부르고 엘리야가 저희를 조롱함

1 Kings 18:25–29: Elijah says to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves, and dress it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.” They take the bull which was given them, and they dress it, and call on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, “Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice, and nobody answered. They leap about the altar which was made. At noon, Elijah mocks them, and says, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is deep in thought, or he has gone somewhere, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened.” They cry aloud, and cut themselves in their way with knives and lances until the blood gushed out on them. When midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the evening offering; but there was no voice, no answer, and nobody paid attention. The Korean Revised Version reads 송아지, a calf, where WEB reads “bull”; it ends Elijah’s mockery with an ellipsis (… 깨워야 할 것인지 …); and at 18:29 it reads 진언을 하여, where WEB reads “they prophesied”.
