1 Samuel 12:22Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingAnd then the Lord shall not forsake his people for his great name; for the Lord hath sworn to make you a people to himself. See the chapter |
But thou, Solomon, my son, know [thou] the God of thy father, and serve thou him with perfect heart, and with a willful soul, or mind; for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and he understand-eth all the thoughts of souls; if thou seekest him, thou shalt find him; forsooth if thou forsakest him, he shall cast thee away without end.
And they would not hear; and they had not mind of thy marvels, which thou haddest done to them; and they made hard their nolls; and they gave the head, that they were all-turned to their servage as by strife; but thou art God who is helpful, meek, and merciful, abiding long, either patient, and of much merciful doing, and forsookest not them;
For not for thy rightwiseness, and for the equity of thine heart thou shalt enter, that thou wield their land; but for they did wickedly, they were done away, when thou enteredest, and that the Lord should [ful] fill his word which he promised under an oath to thy fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
