1 Samuel 12:21-23
Lexham English Bible

21 And do not turn aside after the triviality,[a] which have no value and cannot deliver, for they are triviality. 22 For Yahweh will not forsake his people for the sake of his great name, because Yahweh has decided to make you his own people. 23 Also, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin[b] against Yahweh by ceasing to pray for you! I will instruct you in the good and righteous way.
