21 And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long ^rwill you go limping between two different opinions? ^sIf 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 also served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.

41 ^gSo 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.
