1 Samuel 2:27-35

27And there cameH935 a manH376 of 1GodH430 to EliH5941 and saidH559 to him, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Did I plainly revealH1540 myself to the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1 when they wereH1961 in EgyptH4714, in Pharaoh's houseH1004,

28and chooseH977 him out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, to be my priestH3548, to offer upon mine altarH4196, to burn incenseH7004, to wear the ephodH646 before me? and I gaveH5414 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1 all the offeringsH801 by fireH801 of the children of IsraelH3478.

29Wherefore do ye trample upon my sacrificeH2077 and upon mine oblation which I have commandedH6680 [in my] habitationH4583? And thou honourest thy sonsH1121 above me, to makeH3513 yourselves fat with the primest of all the oblations of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971.

30Wherefore Jehovah the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saith, I saidH559 indeed, 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 honour me I will honour, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemed.

31Behold, daysH3117 comeH935, that I will cutH1438 off thine armH2220, and the armH2220 of thy father's houseH1004, that there shall not beH1961 an oldH2205 manH2205 in thy houseH1004.

32And thou shalt see an oppressor [in my] habitationH4583, amidst all the goodH3190 that shall beH1961 done to 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 cause thine eyesH5869 to failH3615 and to grieve thy soulH5315; and all the increase of thy houseH1004 shall dieH4191 in their vigour.

34And this shall be the signH226 to thee, which shall comeH935 upon thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, upon HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372: in oneH259 dayH3117 they shall dieH4191, both of them.

35And I will raiseH6965 up for myself a faithfulH539 priestH3548, [who] shall do according to what is in my heartH3824 and in my mind; and I will buildH1129 him a sure houseH1004; and he shall walkH1980 before mine anointedH4899 continually.
