1 Samuel 12:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ And Samuel cried unto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day.

¹⁹ And all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. And all the people said to Samuel: Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king.

²⁰ And Samuel said to the people: Fear not, you have done all this evil: but yet depart not from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.
