And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee, for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me that I should not reign over them.

But ye have this day rejected your God, who saves you out of all your afflictions and your troubles, and ye have said unto him, No, but set a king over us. Now, therefore, present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands.

He that rejects me and does not receive my words has one that judges him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Despiseth not

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and chastening.

Do not speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the prudence of thy words.

Thus has the LORD said, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him whom man despises, to him whom the Gentiles abhor, to the slave of the tyrants, Kings shall see and be raised up as princes and shall worship because of the LORD, for faithful is the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen thee.

With all this the LORD chose to bruise him; subjecting him to grief. When he shall have offered his soul for atonement, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the will of the LORD shall be prospered in his hand.

He that hears you hears me, and he that despises you despises me, and he that despises me despises him that sent me.

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish, for I do a work in your days, a work which ye would in no wise believe, if one should declare it unto you.

In the same manner these deceived dreamers, defile their flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of higher powers.

For the prophecy did not come in times past by the will of man, but the holy men of God spoke being inspired by the Holy Spirit.

And he that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.
