Having set them up for a spectacular failure, Elijah mocks the priests: Perhaps Baal is so bored with their ministrations that he’s taken a brief intermission, or even a nap.
With increasing anxiety, the priests call on Baal a second time. Dusk approaches. Still no fire. Still no Baal.
Things turn from just plain embarrassing to rather desperate for the priests of Baal. Elijah turns more aggressive this time, urging them to mutilate themselves before their god in an effort to gain his attention.
The followers of Baal make one last frenzied appeal, but the final supplication collapses, to stunned silence: For extra insurance, Elijah has dampened all surrounding noise from the wind, the birds and the trees, so no one can falsely claim any natural sound to be the oncoming voice of Baal.
