1 Samuel 12:20-25

[20] And 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;  [21] And turn ye not aside:  for then should ye go after  vain  things, which cannot profit  nor deliver;  for they are vain.  [22] For the LORD  will not forsake  his people  for his great  name's  sake: because it hath pleased  the LORD  to make  you his people.  [23] Moreover 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:  [24] Only fear  the LORD,  and serve  him in truth  with all your heart:  for consider  how great things he hath done  [25] But if ye shall still  ye shall be consumed,  both ye and your king.
