⁷ And the Lord said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people regarding all that they say to you, because ^(A)they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being King over them. ⁸ Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day—in that they have abandoned Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you as well.

²⁵ Let us lie down in our ^(A)shame, and let our humiliation cover us; for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, ^(B)from our youth even to this day. And we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.”
