1 Samuel 2:31-35

31The time is coming when I will put an end to your family, so it will no longer serve as my priests. All the members of your family will die before their time. None will reach old age.

32You will watch with envy as I pour out prosperity on the people of Israel. But no members of your family will ever live out their days.

33The few not cut off from serving at my altar will survive, but only so their eyes can go blind and their hearts break, and their children will die a violent death.

34And to prove that what I have said will come true, I will cause your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, to die on the same day!

35“Then I will raise up a faithful priest who will serve me and do what I desire. I will establish his family, and they will be priests to my anointed kings forever.
