1 Samuel 3:11-18

11Then the Lord said to Samuel, “Behold, 1I am going to do a thing in Israel, and both ears of everyone who hears about it will ring. 12On that day 2I will carry out against Eli everything that I have spoken in regard to his house, from beginning to end. 13For 3I have told him that I am going to judge his house forever for 4the wrongdoing that he knew, because 5his sons were bringing a curse on themselves and 6he did not rebuke them. 14Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that 7the wrongdoing of Eli’s house shall never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.”

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 the same to you, and more so, if you hide a single word from me of all the words that He spoke to you!” 18So Samuel told him 11everything and hid nothing from him. And he said, “12He is the Lord; let Him do 13what seems good to Him.”
