1 Samuel 12:20-23 And Samuel said to the people, Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness. Yet do not turn aside from following Jehovah, but serve Jehovah with all your heart.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ And Samuel said to the people, Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness. Yet do not turn aside from following Jehovah, but serve Jehovah with all your heart. ²¹ And do not turn aside to go after vanities, which cannot profit nor deliver. For they are vain. ²² For Jehovah will not forsake His people for His great name's sake, because it has pleased Jehovah to make you His people. ²³ Also, I, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah from ceasing to pray for you. But I will teach you the good and the right way.
