1 Samuel 12:19-21

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy slaves unto the LORD thy God that we not die, for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask for a king over us.

²⁰ And Samuel said unto the people, Do not fear. Ye have done all this wickedness, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

²¹ do not turn aside after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver, for they are vain.
