21 Then E·liʹjah approached all the people and said: “How long will YOU be limping upon two different opinions?*+ If Jehovah is the [true] God,* go following him;+ but if Baʹal is, go following him.” And the people did not say a word in answer to him.

41 And these nations came to be fearers of Jehovah,+ but it was their own graven images that they proved to be serving. As for both their sons and their grandsons, it was just as their forefathers had done that they themselves are doing down to this day.

16 So, because you are lukewarm and neither hot+ nor cold,+ I am going to vomit* you out of my mouth.
