21 And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? ^dIf the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” And the people did not answer him a word.

33 So they feared the Lord but ^lalso served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

41 So these nations feared the Lord and also served their carved images. Their children did likewise, and their children’s children—as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
