1 Samuel 8:6-8
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
6 And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king, to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
7 And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them.
8 According to all their works, they have done from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served strange gods, so do they also unto thee.

1 Samuel 8:6-8
New International Version
6 But when they said, “Give us a king(A) to lead us,” this displeased(B) Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen(C) to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected,(D) but they have rejected me as their king.(E) 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking(F) me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you.
