1 Samuel 12:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ Now then, stand still and watch this great thing the Lord is going to do right before your eyes. ¹⁷ Isn’t the wheat being harvested today? I will call on the Lord, and he’ll send thunder and rain. Then you will realize what a wicked thing you did in the Lord’s presence when you asked for a king.”

¹⁸ Then Samuel called on the Lord. That day the Lord sent thunder and rain so that all the people feared the Lord and Samuel very much.
