1 Kings 18:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 And at noon Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a [a]god: either he talketh or pursueth his enemies, or is in his journey, or it may be that he sleepeth, and must be [b]awaked.
28 And they cried loud, and cut themselves as their manner was, with knives and lancers, till the blood gushed out upon them.
29 And when midday was passed, and they had prophesied until the offering of the evening sacrifice, there was neither voice, nor one to answer, nor any that regarded.

New International Version
27 At noon Elijah began to taunt them. “Shout louder!” he said. “Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened.”(A) 28 So they shouted louder and slashed(B) themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed. 29 Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice.(C) But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention.(D)
