⁷ Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for ^(A)they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. ⁸ Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day—in that they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also.

²⁵ Let us lie down in our ^(A)shame, and let our dishonor cover us; for we have sinned against Yahweh our God, we and our fathers, ^(B)from our youth even to this day. And we have not listened to the voice of Yahweh our God.”
