1 Samuel 12:20-25
20SamuelH8050 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “Do not fearH3372. You have committedH6213 allH3605 thisH2088 evilH7463, yetH389 1do not turnH5493 asideH5493 from followingH310 the LordH3068, but serveH5647 the LordH3068 with allH3605 your heartH3824.
21You must not turnH5493 asideH5493, for then you would go afterH310 2futileH8414 thingsH8414 whichH834 can not profitH3276 or deliverH5337, becauseH3588 they are futileH8414.
22For 3the LordH3068 will not abandonH5203 His peopleH5971 4on accountH5668 of His greatH1419 nameH8034, becauseH3588 the LordH3068 5has been pleasedH3190H2974 to makeH6213 you a peopleH5971 for Himself.
23MoreoverH1571, as for me, 6farH2486 be it from me that I should sinH2398 against the LordH3068 by ceasingH2308 to prayH6419 for you; but 7I will instructH3384 you in the goodH2896 and rightH3477 wayH1870.
248OnlyH389 9fearH3372 the LordH3068 and serveH5647 Him in truthH571 with allH3605 your heartH3824; for considerH7200 10whatH834 greatH1431 thingsH1431 He has doneH1431 for you.
2511But ifH518 you stillH7489 doH7489 wickedlyH7489, 12bothH1571 you and your kingH4428 13will be sweptH5595 awayH5595.”
