So have all the false prophets who belong to queen Jezebel.... There are eight hundred and fifty of them... One against eight hundred and fifty....But their god is no match for my God as they will soon find out.... My people need to realise that as well.... I must challenge them to choose.... They must make up their mind today who they want to follow.... If they want to follow the Lord, so be it.... If they want to follow Baal, so be it."....

The prophet Elijah addresses the people after they have gathered on Mount Carmel as you can read in I Kings 18:21

Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing.

Elijah shows the people they are compromised in their faith. His words are very powerful.
