1 Samuel 12:22

Samuel's Charge To Israel

²¹ You must not turn aside, for then you would go after futile things which can not profit or deliver, because they are futile. ²² For the Lord will not abandon His people on account of His great name, because the Lord has been pleased to make you a people for Himself. ²³ Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way.
