21. Idols are of no use, so don’t worship them. They can’t help you or save you. They are useless!
22. For his own sake, the Lord won’t leave his people. Instead, he was pleased to make you his own people.
23. I will surely not stop praying for you, because that would be sinning against the Lord. I will teach you what is good and right.
24. You must honor the Lord and truly serve him with all your heart. Remember the wonderful things he did for you!
25. But if you are stubborn and do evil, he will sweep you and your king away.”
