1 Kings 18:25 in Context — 1 Kings 18

23 Deem-se a nós, pois, dois bois, e escolham-se eles o um, e cortem-no em pedaços, e ponham-no sobre lenha, mas não ponham fogo debaixo; e eu prepararei o outro boi, e o porei sobre lenha, e nenhum fogo porei debaixo.

24 Invocai logo vós no nome de vossos deuses, e eu invocarei no nome do SENHOR: e o Deus que responder por fogo, esse seja Deus. E todo o povo respondeu, dizendo: Bem dito.

25 Então Elias disse aos profetas de Baal: Escolhei-vos o um boi, e fazei primeiro, pois que vós sois os mais: e invocai no nome de vossos deuses, mas não ponhais fogo debaixo.

26 E eles tomaram o boi que lhes foi dado, e prepararam-no, e invocaram no nome de Baal desde a manhã até o meio dia, dizendo: Baal, responde-nos! Mas não havia voz, nem quem respondesse; entretanto, eles andavam saltando próximo do altar que haviam feito.

27 E aconteceu ao meio dia, que Elias se ridicularizava deles, dizendo: Gritai em alta voz, que deus é: talvez esteja conversando, ou tem alguma ocupação, ou está caminhando; acaso dorme, e despertará.
