Bible Verses About Reproof: Should be accompanied by exhortation to repentance

And Samuel saith unto the people, `Fear not; ye have done all this evil; only, turn not aside from after Jehovah--and ye have served Jehovah with all your heart,

and ye do not turn aside after the vain things which do not profit nor deliver, for they are vain,

for Jehovah doth not leave His people, on account of His great name; for Jehovah hath been pleased to make you to Him for a people.

`I, also, far be it from me to sin against Jehovah, by ceasing to pray for you, and I have directed you in the good and upright way;

only, fear ye Jehovah, and ye have served Him in truth with all your heart, for see that which He hath made great with you;

and if ye really do evil, both ye and your king are consumed.'
