12:20And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

12:21And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

12:22For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.

12:23Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:

12:24Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

12:25But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
