He said, "Lord, they killed your prophets and destroyed your altars. I am the only one left, and now they want to kill me."
I even hid one hundred of the LORD's prophets in caves when Jezebel was trying to kill them. I also gave them food and water.
(SEE 18:3)
In spite of this, they rebelled and disobeyed your laws. They killed your prophets, who warned them to turn back to you, and they cursed your name.
I tried punishing you, but you refused to come back to me, and like fierce lions you killed my prophets.
