1 Samuel 12:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁰ “Don’t be afraid,” Samuel told the people. “You did do all these evil things. But don’t turn away from the Lord. Instead, serve the Lord wholeheartedly. ²¹ Don’t turn away to follow other gods. They can’t help or rescue you, because they don’t exist. ²² For the sake of his great name, the Lord will not abandon his people, because the Lord wants to make you his people.
