1 Samuel 2:27-34

27And there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 unto EliH5941, and saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, DidH376 I revealH1540 myself unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, when they were in EgyptH4714 in bondage to Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004?

28and did I chooseH977 him outH6440 of allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to be my priestH3548, to goH5927 upH5927 unto mine altarH4196 to burnH6999 incenseH7004, to wearH5927 an ephodH646 beforeH6440 meH5414? and did I giveH5414 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1 allH3605 the offeringsH801 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 madeH5414 by fireH801?

29Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mineH4480 offering, whichH834 I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourest thy sonsH1121 aboveH4480 meH4480, to makeH3513 yourselves fat with the chiefest of allH3605 the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971?

30Therefore the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saith, I saidH559 indeedH3588 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 meH6440 for everH5769: but nowH6258 the LORDH3068 saith, Be it farH5704 from meH6440; for them that honour meH6440 I will honour, and they that despiseH959 meH6440 shall be lightlyH7043 esteemedH7043.

31BeholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will cutH1438 offH1438 thine armH2220, and the armH2220 of thy father’sH1 houseH1004, that there shall notH1961 be an oldH2205 manH2205 in thine houseH1004.

32And thou shalt beholdH3808 the affliction of my habitationH4583, in allH3605 the wealthH3808 whichH834 GodH3808 shall giveH1961 IsraelH3478: and there shall notH3808 be an oldH2205 manH2205 in thine houseH1004 for ever.

33And the manH376 of thine, whom I shall notH3808 cutH3772 offH3772 from mineH5973 altarH4196, shall be to consumeH3615 thine eyesH5869, and to grieveH109 thine heartH5315: and allH3605 the increaseH4768 of thine houseH1004 shall dieH4191 in the flower of their age.

34And this shall be the signH226 unto thee, that shall comeH935 uponH935 thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, on HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372; in one dayH3117 they shall dieH4191 bothH8147 of them.
