1 Samuel 12:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Now therefore your king is here, whom you have chosen and desired: Behold the Lord hath given you a king.

¹⁴ If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and not provoke the mouth of the Lord: then shall both you, and the king who reigneth over you, be followers of the Lord your God.

¹⁵ But if you will not hearken to the voice of the Lord, but will rebel against his words, the hand of the Lord shall be upon you, and upon your fathers.
