1 Samuel 2:30-35

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. 35And I will raiseH6965 me up a faithfulH539 priestH3548, that shall do according to that which is in my heartH3824 and in my mind: and I will buildH1129 him a sure houseH1004; and he shall walkH1980 before mine anointedH4899 for ever.
