1 Samuel 2:31-33
English Standard Version
31 Behold, (A)the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32 Then (B)in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity that shall be bestowed on Israel, (C)and there shall not be an old man in your house forever. 33 The only one of you whom I shall not cut off from my altar shall be spared to weep his[a] eyes out to grieve his heart, and all the descendants[b] of your house shall die by the sword of men.[c]

1 Samuel 2:31-33
New International Version
31 The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age,(A) 32 and you will see distress(B) in my dwelling. Although good will be done to Israel, no one in your family line will ever reach old age.(C) 33 Every one of you that I do not cut off from serving at my altar I will spare only to destroy your sight and sap your strength, and all your descendants(D) will die in the prime of life.
