1 Kings 18:22 CPDV

²⁰  Ahab sent to all the sons of Israel, and he gathered together the prophets on mount Carmel.

²¹  Then Elijah, drawing near to all the people, said: 'How long will you waver between two sides? If the Lord is God, follow him. But if Baal is, then follow him.' And the people did not respond a word to him.

²²  And Elijah said again to the people: 'I alone remain as a prophet of the Lord. But the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.

²³  Let two oxen be given to us. And let them choose one ox for themselves, and, cutting it into pieces, let them set it on the wood. But they may not place fire under it. And I will prepare the other ox, and set it on the wood. But I will not place fire under it.

²⁴  Call upon the names of your gods. And I will call on the name of my Lord. And the God who will have heeded with fire, let him be God.' And in response, all the people said, 'Excellent proposition.'
