1 Samuel 12:20-22

New American Standard Bible

²⁰ Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have committed all this evil, yet ^(A)do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. ²¹ Indeed, you must not turn aside, for then you would go after ^(B)useless things which cannot benefit or save, because they are useless. ²² For ^(C)the Lord will not abandon His people ^(D)on account of His great name, because the Lord ^(E)has been pleased to make you a people for Himself.
