1 Samuel 12:16-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 Even now, (A)take your stand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes. 17 (B)Is it not the wheat harvest today? (C)I will call to the Lord, that He may send [a]thunder and rain. Then you will know and see that (D)your wickedness is great which you have done in the sight of the Lord by asking for yourselves a king.” 18 So Samuel called to the Lord, and the Lord sent [b]thunder and rain that day; and (E)all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.
19 Then all the people said to Samuel, “(F)Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, so that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins (G)this evil by asking for ourselves a king.” 20 Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have committed all this evil, yet (H)do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.
