1 Samuel 2:30-32

30“Therefore, the Lord God of Israel declares: I certainly thought that your family and your father’s family would always live in my presence. “But now the Lord declares: I promise that I will honor those who honor me, and those who despise me will be considered insignificant.

31The time is coming when I will break your strength and the strength of your father’s house so that no one will grow old in your family.

32You will see distress in my dwelling place. In spite of the good that I do for Israel, no one in your family will live to an old age.
