1 Samuel 12:15-17
Contemporary English Version

15 If you're stubborn and refuse to obey the Lord, he will turn against you and your king.[a]

16 Just stand here and watch the Lord show his mighty power. 17 Isn't this the dry season?[b] I'm going to ask the Lord to send a thunderstorm. When you see it, you will realize how wrong you were to ask for a king.
