1 Samuel 2:24-26
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
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.
26 But the child Samuel advanced, and grew on, and pleased both the Lord and men.

1 Samuel 2:24-26
New International Version
24 No, my sons; the report I hear spreading among the Lord’s people is not good. 25 If one person sins against another, God[a] may mediate for the offender; but if anyone sins against the Lord, who will(A) intercede(B) for them?” His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke, for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death.
26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow(C) in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people.(D)
