1 Samuel 3:11-18

11The Lord said to Samuel, “Behold, 1I am about to do a thing in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. 12In that day 2I will carry out against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 13For 3I have told him that I am about to judge his house forever for 4the iniquity which he knew, because 5his sons brought a curse on themselves and 6he did not rebuke them. 14Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that 7the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.”

15So Samuel lay down until morning. Then he 8opened the doors of the house of the Lord. But Samuel was afraid to tell 9the vision to Eli. 16Then Eli called Samuel and said, “Samuel, my son.” And he said, “Here I am.” 17He said, “What is the word that He spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. 10May God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the words that He spoke to you.” 18So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, “11It is the Lord; let Him do what seems good to Him.”
