Ne vous en détournez point, car ce serait aller après des choses de néant, qui ne profitent ni ne délivrent, parce que ce sont des choses de néant.
et ne vous détournez point, car ce serait vous en aller après des choses de néant, qui ne profitent pas et ne délivrent pas, car ce sont des choses de néant.
Ne vous en détournez pas; sinon, vous iriez après des choses de néant, qui n'apportent ni profit ni délivrance, parce que ce sont des choses de néant.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And turn ye not aside,.... From his worship: for then; if they turned aside from that:
should ye go after vain things; idols, which are vanity, and less than vanity:
which cannot profit nor deliver; neither bestow good things on their votaries, nor deliver them from evils, or from the hands of their enemies
for they are vain; empty, useless, and unprofitable; an idol is nothing in the world, 1 Corinthians 8:4.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 12:21. After vain things — That is, idols; which he calls here התהו hattohu, the same expression found Genesis 1:2. The earth was תהו tohu; it was waste, empty, and formless: so idols; they are confusion, and things of naught, for an idol is nothing in the world-it is not the representative of any intelligent being.
