1 Samuel 12:19-25
19And all the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, PrayH6419 for thy servantsH5650 unto YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, that we dieH4191 not: for we have addedH3254 unto all our sinsH2403 this evilH7451, to askH7592 us a kingH4428.
20And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 not: ye have doneH6213 all this wickednessH7451: yet turn not asideH5493 from followingH310 YhwhH3068, but serveH5647 YhwhH3068 with all your heartH3824; 21And turn ye not asideH5493: for then should ye go afterH310 vainH8414 things, which cannot profitH3276 nor deliverH5337; for they are vainH8414. 22For YhwhH3068 will not forsakeH5203 his peopleH5971 for his greatH1419 name’sH8034 sake: because it hath pleasedH2974 YhwhH3068 to makeH6213 you his peopleH5971. 23Moreover as for meH595, God forbidH2486 that I should sinH2398 against YhwhH3068 in ceasingH2308 to prayH6419 for you: but I will teachH3384 you the goodH2896 and the rightH3477 wayH1870:1 24Only fearH3372 YhwhH3068, and serveH5647 him in truthH571 with all your heartH3824: for considerH7200 how great things he hath doneH1431 for you.2 25But if ye shall stillH7489 do wickedlyH7489, ye shall be consumedH5595, both ye and your kingH4428.
