1 Samuel 12:21 in Context — 1 Samuel 12
19 Então disse todo o povo a Samuel: Roga por teus servos ao SENHOR teu Deus, que não morramos: porque a todos os nossos pecados acrescentamos este mal de pedir rei para nós.
20 E Samuel respondeu ao povo: Não temais: vós cometestes todo este mal; mas com tudo isso não vos desvieis de seguir ao SENHOR, mas sim servi ao SENHOR com todo o vosso coração:
21 Não vos desvieis a fim de seguir as vaidades que não aproveitam nem livram, porque são vaidades.
22 Pois o SENHOR não desamparará a seu povo por seu grande nome: porque o SENHOR quis fazer-vos povo seu.
23 Assim que, longe seja de mim que peque eu contra o SENHOR cessando de rogar por vós; antes eu vos ensinarei pelo caminho bom e direito.
