1 Samuel 12:19-21
International Standard Version
19 Then all the people told Samuel, “Pray to the Lord your God for your servants, so that we don’t die, because we made all our sins worse by asking for a king for ourselves.”
20 Samuel told all the people, “Don’t be afraid. You have done all this evil. Yet don’t turn aside from following the Lord, but serve[a] the Lord with all your heart. 21 Don’t turn aside after useless things[b] that cannot profit or deliver because they’re useless.
