In context
21And turn not aside after the gods that are nothing, who will do nothing, and will not deliver you, because they are nothing.
22For the Lord will not cast off his people for his great name’s sake, because the Lord graciously took you to himself for a people.
— 1 Samuel 12:23 —
24Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth and with all your heart, for ye see what great things he has wrought with you.
25But if ye continue to do evil, then shall ye and your king be consumed.
