The Lord your God

“Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied.
“You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away
from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.

Do not turn away after useless idols.
They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you,
because they are useless.

For the sake of his great name
the Lord will not reject his people,
because the Lord was pleased to make you his own…

…But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully
with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.
Yet if you persist in doing evil,
both you and your king will be swept away.

1 Samuel 12. 20 - 25
