20 So Samuel said to the people: “Do not be afraid. You have indeed done all this evil. Only do not turn away from following Jehovah,+ and serve Jehovah with all your heart.+ 21 Do not turn away to follow the empty things,*+which are of no benefit+ and cannot rescue, because they are empty.*22 For the sake of his great name,+Jehovah will not abandon his people,+for Jehovah has taken it upon himself to make you his people.+ 23 As for me, it is unthinkable for me to sin against Jehovah by ceasing to pray in your behalf, and I will continue to instruct you in the good and right way. 24 Only fear Jehovah,+ and serve him faithfully*with all your heart, for see what great things he has done for you.+ 25 But if you flagrantly do what is bad, you will be swept away,+ both you and your king.”+
Not the way man sees is the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to be eyes but as for Jehovah, she sees what the heart is (1 Samuel 16:7)
