Samuel Judges Israel

³ And Samuel said to all the house of Israel, ^(A)“If you are returning to the Lord with all your heart, then ^(B)put away the foreign gods and the ^(C)Ashtaroth from among you and ^(D)direct your heart to the Lord ^(E)and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

^12 (A)Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, ^(B)and I will hear you. ^13 (C)You will seek me and find me, when you seek me ^(D)with all your heart. ¹⁴ I will be found by you, declares the Lord, ^(E)and I will restore your fortunes and ^(F)gather you from all the nations and all the places ^(G)where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.
