1 Kings 18:26 Then they took the ox which was given them and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon saying, "O Baal, answer us." But there was no voice and no one answered. And they leaped about the altar which they made.

1 Kings 18:28 So they cried with a loud voice and cut themselves according to their custom with swords and lances until the blood gushed out on them. (NASB ©1995)

is pursuing. [heb] hath a pursuit
must be awaked Ps 44:23 78:65,66 121:4 Isa 51:9 Mr 4:38,39
