You have done all this evil, yet do not turn away from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.' 21 Do not turn aside, for you would be following things that are worthless and cannot benefit or deliver you, for they are meaningless. 22 For the LORD will not abandon His people for the sake of His great name, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people. 23 As for me, far be it from me to sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you. Instead, I will instruct you in the good and upright way. 24 Only fear the LORD and serve Him faithfully with all your heart. Consider what great things He has done for you.
