rsv@1Samuel:12:20 @ And Samuel said to the people, "Fear not; you have done all this evil, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
rsv@1Samuel:12:21 @ and do not turn aside after vain things which cannot profit or save, for they are vain.
rsv@1Samuel:12:22 @ For the LORD will not cast away his people, for his great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for himself.
