1 Samuel 12:19-24

19And allH3605 the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, PrayH6419 for thy servantsH5650 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, that weH3588 dieH4191 notH408: for weH3588 have addedH3254 unto allH3605 our sinsH2403 this evilH7451, to askH7592 usH413 a kingH4428.

20And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 notH408: ye have indeedH389 doneH6213 allH3605 this evilH7451: yet turnH5493 notH408 asideH5493 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, but serveH5647 the LORDH3068 with allH3605 your heartH3824;

21and turnH5493 ye notH3808 asideH5493: for then should ye goH5493 afterH310 vain things whichH834 cannotH3808 profitH3276 norH3808 deliverH5337, for they are vain.

22For the LORDH3068 will notH3808 forsakeH5203 his peopleH5971 for his greatH1419 name’sH8034 sakeH5668: becauseH3588 it hath pleasedH2974 the LORDH3068 to makeH6213 youH3588 a peopleH5971 unto himselfH3808.

23MoreoverH1571 as for meH1157, GodH3068 forbidH2486 that I should sinH2398 againstH2398 the LORDH3068 in ceasingH2308 to prayH6419 for youH853: but I will instructH3384 youH853 in the goodH2896 and the rightH3477 wayH1870.

24OnlyH389 fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him in truthH571 with allH3605 your heartH3824: for considerH7200 howH834 greatH1431 things he hath doneH3605 for youH834.
