1 Samuel 12:20-22

American Standard Version

²⁰ And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have indeed done all this evil; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, but serve Jehovah with all your heart: ²¹ and turn ye not aside; for then would ye go after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver, for they are vain. ²² For Jehovah will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it hath pleased Jehovah to make you a people unto himself.
