1 Samuel 12:20 DBY

¹⁸  And Samuel called to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.

¹⁹  And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to Jehovah thy God for thy servants, that we die not; for we have added to all our sins the wickedness to ask for ourselves a king.

²⁰  And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: *ye* have done all this wickedness; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart;

²¹  and turn ye not aside; for [it would be] after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

²²  For Jehovah will not cast away his people for his great name's sake; because it has pleased Jehovah to make you his people.
