1 Samuel 12

²⁰ “Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “Even though you have committed all this evil, do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.

²¹ Do not turn aside after worthless things that cannot profit you or deliver you, for they are empty.

²² Indeed, for the sake of His great name, the LORD will not abandon His people, because He was pleased to make you His own.

²³ As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you. And I will continue to teach you the good and right way.

²⁴ Above all, fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you.
