Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:

And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
