1 Samuel 2:27-34

27Then a manH376 of GodH430 cameH935 toH413 EliH5941 and toldH559 himH413, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘Did I not clearly reveal MyselfH1540 toH413 your father’sH1 houseH1004 when they wereH1961 in EgyptH4714 under Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004? 28And out of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 I selectedH977 your father to be My priestH3548, to offer sacrificesH5927 onH5921 My altarH4196, to burnH6999 incenseH7004, and to wearH5375 an ephodH646 in My presenceH6440. I also gaveH5414 to the houseH1004 of your fatherH1 allH3605 the food offeringsH801 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478.

29Why thenH4100 do you kick atH11631 My sacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503 thatH834 I have prescribedH6680 for My dwelling placeH4583? You have honoredH3513 your sonsH1121 more than MeH4480 by fattening yourselvesH1254 with the bestH7225 of allH3605 the offeringsH4503 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’

30ThereforeH3651, the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, declaresH5002:

‘I did indeedH559 sayH559 that your houseH1004and the houseH1004 of your fatherH1would walkH1980 before MeH6440 foreverH5704H5769.
But nowH6258 the LORDH3068 declaresH5002:Far be itH2486 from Me!ForH3588 I will honorH3513 those who honor MeH3513,but those who despise MeH959 will be disdainedH7043.

31BeholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935 when I will cut offH1438 your strengthH2220 and the strengthH2220 of your father’sH1 houseH1004, so that no one in itH1004 will reachH1961 old ageH2205. 32You will seeH5027 distressH6862 in My dwelling placeH4583. Despite allH3605 thatH834 is goodH3190 in IsraelH3478, no oneH3808 in your houseH1004 will ever againH3605H3117 reachH1961 old ageH2205. 33And every oneH376 of you that I do notH3808 cut offH3772 fromH5973 My altarH4196, I will cause your eyesH5869 to failH3615 and your heartH5315 to grieveH109.2 AllH3605 your descendantsH4768H10043 will dieH4191 by the sword of menH582.4

34And thisH2088 signH226 shall comeH935 to you concerningH413 your twoH8147 sonsH1121H413 HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372: They will bothH8147 dieH4191 on the sameH259 dayH3117.
