1 Samuel 3:12-17

12On that day I will carry out against Eli everything I said about his family, from beginning to end.

13I told him that I am going to judge his family forever because of the iniquity he knows about: his sons are cursing God, and he has not stopped them.

14Therefore, I have sworn to Eli’s family: The iniquity of Eli’s family will never be wiped out by either sacrifice or offering.”

15Samuel lay down until the morning; then he opened the doors of the Lord’s house. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision,

16but Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son.” “Here I am,” answered Samuel.

17“What was the message he gave you?” Eli asked. “Don’t hide it from me. May God punish you and do so severely if you hide anything from me that he told you.”
