27 “How long shall ^sthis wicked congregation grumble against me? ^tI have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against me.

7 And the Lord said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, ^vfor they have not rejected you, ^wbut they have rejected me from being king over them.

16 ^r“The one who hears you hears me, and ^sthe one who rejects you rejects me, and ^tthe one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.
