11 “I do regret+ that I have caused Saul to reign as king, because he has turned+ back from following me, and my words he has not carried out.”+ And it was distressing to Samuel,*+ and he kept crying out to Jehovah all night long.+

4 And it came about in the time of Solʹo·mon’s growing old+ that his wives themselves had inclined+ his heart to follow other gods;+ and his heart did not prove to be complete+ with Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father.

12 “And as for you, O son of man, say to the sons of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous one will not itself deliver him in the day of his revolt.+ But as regards the wickedness of the wicked one, he will not be made to stumble by it in the day of his turning back from his wickedness.+ Nor will even anyone having righteousness be able to keep living because of it in the day of his sinning.+
