1 Samuel 2:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ And he said to them: Why do ye these kinds of things, which I hear, very wicked things, from all the people?

²⁴ Do not so, my sons: for it is no good report that I hear, that you make the people of the Lord to transgress.

²⁵ If one man shall sin against another, God may be appeased in his behalf: but if a man shall sin against the Lord, who shall pray for him? And they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
