1 Samuel 2:27-36

27And there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 unto EliH5941, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Did I plainlyH1540 appearH1540 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, when they were in EgyptH4714 in Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004? 28And did I chooseH977 him out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to be my priestH3548, to offerH5927 upon mine altarH4196, to burnH6999 incenseH7004, to wearH5375 an ephodH646 beforeH6440 me? and did I giveH5414 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1 all the offerings made by fireH801 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? 29Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourestH3513 thy sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the chiefestH7225 of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971? 30Wherefore YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now YhwhH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043. 31Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will cut offH1438 thine armH2220, and the armH2220 of thy father’sH1 houseH1004, that there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004. 32And thou shalt seeH5027 an enemyH6862 in my habitationH4583, in all the wealth which God shall giveH3190 IsraelH3478: and there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004 for everH3117.1 33And the manH376 of thine, whom I shall not cut offH3772 from mine altarH4196, shall be to consumeH3615 thine eyesH5869, and to grieveH109 thine heartH5315: and all the increaseH4768 of thine houseH1004 shall dieH4191 in the flower of their ageH582.2 34And this shall be a signH226 unto thee, that shall comeH935 upon thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, on HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372; in oneH259 dayH3117 they shall dieH4191 bothH8147 of them. 35And I will raise me upH6965 a faithfulH539 priestH3548, that shall doH6213 according to that which is in mine heartH3824 and in my mindH5315: and I will buildH1129 him a sureH539 houseH1004; and he shall walkH1980 beforeH6440 mine anointedH4899 for everH3117. 36And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 in thine houseH1004 shall comeH935 and crouchH7812 to him for a pieceH95 of silverH3701 and a morselH3603 of breadH3899, and shall sayH559, PutH5596 me, I pray thee, into oneH259 of the priests’ officesH3550, that I may eatH398 a pieceH6595 of breadH3899.34
