1 Samuel 3:10-14

10The Lord came and stood there. He called as he had called the other times: “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel replied, “Speak. I’m listening.”

11Then the Lord said to Samuel, “I am going to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears it ring.

12On that day I am going to do to Eli and his family everything I said from beginning to end.

13I told him that I would hand down a permanent judgment against his household because he knew about his sons’ sin—that they were cursing God  —but he didn’t try to stop them.

14That is why I have taken an oath concerning Eli’s family line: No offering or sacrifice will ever ⌞be able to⌟ make peace for the sins that Eli’s family committed.”
