1 Samuel 2:27-34

27And there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 unto EliH5941, and saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Did I revealH1540 myself unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, when they wereH1961 in EgyptH4714 in bondage to Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004? 28and did I chooseH977 him out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to be my priestH3548, to goH5927 up unto mine altarH4196, to burn incenseH7004, to wear an ephodH646 before me? and did I giveH5414 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1 all the offeringsH801 of the children of IsraelH3478 madeH5414 by fireH801? 29Wherefore kick ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583, and honorest thy sonsH1121 above me, to makeH3513 yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971? 30ThereforeH3651 Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saith, I saidH559 indeed that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 before me for everH5769: but nowH6258 Jehovah saith, Be it far from me; for them that honorH3513 me I will honorH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemed. 31Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will cutH1438 off thine armH2220, and the armH2220 of thy father’sH1 houseH1004, that there shall not beH1961 an oldH2205 manH2205 in thy houseH1004. 32And thou shalt behold the affliction of my habitationH4583, in all the wealth which God shall give IsraelH3478; and there shall not beH1961 an oldH2205 manH2205 in thy houseH1004 for ever. 33And the manH376 of thine, whom I shall not cutH3772 off from mine altarH4196, shall be to consume thine eyesH5869, and to grieve thy heart; and all the increase of thy houseH1004 shall dieH4191 in the flower of their age. 34And this shall be the signH226 unto thee, that shall comeH935 upon thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, on HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372: in oneH259 dayH3117 they shall dieH4191 both of them.
