21 And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.
22 For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people.
23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.
24 Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.
25 But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king.”
