1 Samuel 8:7-9 Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουὴλ, ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ λαοῦ, καθὰ ἂν λαλῶσί σοι, ὅτι οὐ σὲ ἐξουθενήκασιν, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐμὲ ἐξουθενήκασι τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐπʼ αὐτῶν.

Brenton_Greek⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουὴλ, ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ λαοῦ, καθὰ ἂν λαλῶσί σοι, ὅτι οὐ σὲ ἐξουθενήκασιν, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐμὲ ἐξουθενήκασι τοῦ μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐπʼ αὐτῶν. ⁸ Κατὰ πάντα τὰ ποιήματα, ἃ ἐποίησάν μοι ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἀνήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, καὶ ἐγκατέλιπόν με, καὶ ἐδούλευον θεοῖς ἑτέροις, οὕτως αὐτοὶ ποιοῦσι καὶ σοί. ⁹ Καὶ νῦν ἄκουε τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῶν· πλὴν ὅτι διαμαρτυρόμενος διαμαρτύρῃ αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἀπαγγελεῖς αὐτοῖς τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ βασιλέως, ὃς βασιλεύσει ἐπʼ αὐτούς.
