1 Samuel 3:11-18

11And Jehovah saidH559 to SamuelH8050, Behold, I will do a thingH1697 in IsraelH3478, at which both the earsH241 of every one that heareth it shall tingleH6750. 12In that dayH3117 I will perform against EliH5941 all that I have spokenH1696 concerningH413 his houseH1004, from the beginningH2490 even unto the endH3615. 13For I have toldH5046 him that I will judgeH8199 his houseH1004 for everH5769, for the iniquityH5771 which he knewH3045, because his sonsH1121 did bring a curseH7043 upon themselves, and he restrained them not. 14And thereforeH3651 I have swornH7650 unto the houseH1004 of EliH5941, that the iniquityH5771 of Eli’s houseH1004 shall not be expiated with sacrificeH2077 nor offeringH4503 for everH5769.

15And SamuelH8050 layH7901 until the morningH1242, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. And SamuelH8050 fearedH3372 to show EliH5941 the visionH4759. 16Then EliH5941 calledH7121 SamuelH8050, and saidH559, SamuelH8050, my sonH1121. And he saidH559, HereH2005 am I. 17And he saidH559, What is the thingH1697 thatJehovah hath spokenH1696 unto thee? I pray thee, hideH3582 it not from me: GodH430 do so to thee, and moreH4480 also, if thou hideH3582 anything from me of all the thingsH1697 that he spake unto thee. 18And SamuelH8050 toldH5046 him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he saidH559, It is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth him goodH2896.
