1 Samuel 12:21-23
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
21 And turn not aside after vain things which shall never profit you, nor deliver you, because they are vain.
22 And the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because the Lord hath sworn to make you his people.
23 And far from me be this sin against the Lord, that I should cease to pray for you, and I will teach you the good and right way.

1 Samuel 12:21-23
New International Version
21 Do not turn away after useless(A) idols.(B) They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless. 22 For the sake(C) of his great name(D) the Lord will not reject(E) his people, because the Lord was pleased to make(F) you his own. 23 As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray(G) for you. And I will teach(H) you the way that is good and right.
