Lexham English Bible
20 And Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear! You have done all this evil; only do not turn aside from following[a] Yahweh. But you must serve Yahweh with all your heart. 21 And do not turn aside after the triviality,[b] which have no value and cannot deliver, for they are triviality. 22 For Yahweh will not forsake his people for the sake of his great name, because Yahweh has decided to make you his own people.
