20 And Samuel said to the people, “Do not be afraid; you have done all this evil. Yet ^bdo not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. 21 And ^cdo not turn aside after ^dempty things that cannot profit or deliver, for they are empty.

2 Chronicles 16:7-12

7 At that time ^gHanani ^hthe seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, ⁱ“Because you relied on the king of Syria, and did not rely on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped you. 8 Were not ^jthe Ethiopians and ^kthe Libyans a huge army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet ^lbecause you relied on the Lord, he gave them into your hand. 9 ^mFor the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those ⁿwhose heart is blameless ^{▼▼Or whole} toward him. ^pYou have done foolishly in this, for from now on ^qyou will have wars.” 10 Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him ^rin the stocks in prison, for he was in a rage with him because of this. And Asa inflicted cruelties upon some of the people at the same time.

11 ^sThe acts of Asa, from first to last, are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but sought help from physicians.

Psalms 125:5

5 But those who ^xturn aside to their ^ycrooked ways
the Lord will lead away with ^zevildoers!
^aaPeace be upon Israel!
