15but if you will not listen to the voice of Yahweh, but rebel against the commandment of Yahweh, then will the hand of Yahweh be against you, as it was against your fathers.
16Now therefore stand still and see this great thing, which Yahweh will do before your eyes.
17Isn`t it wheat harvest today? I will call to Yahweh, that he may send thunder and rain; and you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of Yahweh, in asking you a king.
18So Samuel called to Yahweh; and Yahweh sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared Yahweh and Samuel.
19All the people said to Samuel, Pray for your servants to Yahweh your God, that we not die; for we have added to all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king.
20Samuel said to the people, "Don`t be afraid; you have indeed done all this evil; yet don`t turn aside from following Yahweh, but serve Yahweh with all your heart:
21and don`t turn aside; for [then would you go] after vain things which can`t profit nor deliver, for they are vain.
