1 Samuel 12:23

²¹ Do not turn aside after worthless things that cannot profit you or deliver you, for they are empty.

²² Indeed, for the sake of His great name, the LORD will not abandon His people, because He was pleased to make you His own.

As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you. And I will continue to teach you the good and right way.

²⁴ Above all, fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things He has done for you.

²⁵ But if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away.”
