וַיְהִ֨י בַֽצָּהֳרַ֜יִם וַיְהַתֵּ֧ל בָּהֶ֣ם אֵלִיָּ֗הוּ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ קִרְא֤וּ בְקוֹל־גָּדוֹל֙ כִּֽי־אֱלֹהִ֣ים ה֔וּא כִּ֣י שִׂ֧יחַ וְכִֽי־שִׂ֛יג ל֖וֹ וְכִֽי־דֶ֣רֶךְ ל֑וֹ אוּלַ֛י יָשֵׁ֥ן ה֖וּא וְיִקָֽץ׃
오정에 이르러는 엘리야가 저희를 조롱하여 가로되 큰 소리로 부르라 저는 신인즉 묵상하고 있는지 혹 잠간 나갔는지 혹 길을 행하는지 혹 잠이 들어서 깨워야 할 것인지... 하매
Ibn Ezra
Surely a people that seeketh unto their God, etc.28A. V.: Should not a people seek unto their God? This is the reply.29To those that advise to consult wizards and them that have familiar spirits. Surely such is a people that seeketh unto his God! sarcastically and ironically said.30Comp. the words of Elijah, 1 Kings 18:27. How could one seek unto the lifeless idols for the benefit of the living.
