Samuel's Farewell Speech

And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. For The LORD will not forsake His people for His great name's sake: because it hath pleased The LORD to make you His people. Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against The LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: Only fear The LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things He hath done for you. But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.

1 Samuel 12:21
