1 Samuel 2:31-33
Lexham English Bible

31 Look, days are coming when I will cut off your strength[a] and the strength[b] of the house of your ancestor[c] so that no one in your house will live to old age.[d] 32 You will look at the distress of my dwelling place, despite all the good caused for Israel, but there will never be an old man in your household forever![e] 33 The only one I will not cut off from my altar is you.[f] Rather, to cause your eyes to fail and to cause your soul to grieve, all the members of your household[g] will die as men.[h]
