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.

33 It was of Jehovah that they became fearers,+ but it was of their own gods that they proved to be worshipers,+ according to the religion of the nations from among whom they had led them into exile.+

24 “No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other,+ or he will stick to the one and despise the other. YOU cannot slave for God and for Riches.*+
