¹⁹ But the people gave no attention to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but we will have a king over us,

¹⁶ As for the word which you have said to us in the name of the Lord, we will not give ear to you.

¹¹ But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.

⁴ So I will go after trouble for them, and will send on them what they are fearing: because no one made answer to my voice, or gave ear to my word; but they did what was evil in my eyes, going after that in which I took no pleasure.

¹³ And now, because you have done all these works, says the Lord, and I sent my word to you, getting up early and sending, but you did not give ear; and my voice came to you, but you gave no answer:

³¹ And they come to you as my people come, and are seated before you as my people, hearing your words but doing them not: for deceit is in their mouth and their heart goes after profit for themselves.
