Tantalizing

“Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her and taunt her viciously.”

“And this went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival taunted her until she wept and would not eat.”

“At noon Elijah began to taunt them, saying, “Shout louder, for he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or occupied, or on a journey. Perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened!””
