if they ignore my demands and disobey my commands,
I took away my love from Saul, whom I removed before you, but I will never stop loving your son.
“But you and your children must follow me and obey the laws and commands I have given you. You must not serve or worship other gods.
We have been wicked toward you and have not obeyed the commands, rules, and laws you gave your servant Moses.
The one who was my friend attacks his friends and breaks his promises.
If you leave the Lord and serve other gods, he will send you great trouble. The Lord may have been good to you, but if you turn against him, he will destroy you.”
