1 Samuel 2:29-34
New American Standard Bible
29 Why are you [a](A)showing contempt for My sacrifice and My offering (B)which I have commanded for My (C)dwelling, and why are you (D)honoring your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the [b]choicest of every offering of My people Israel?’ 30 Therefore the Lord God of Israel declares, ‘(E)I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father was to walk before Me forever’; but now the Lord declares, ‘Far be it from Me—for (F)those who honor Me I will honor, and those (G)who despise Me will be insignificant. 31 Behold, (H)the days are coming when I will eliminate your [c]strength and the [d]strength of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32 And you will look at (I)the distress of My dwelling, in spite of all the good that [e]I do for Israel; and there will never be an (J)old man in your house. 33 Yet I will not cut off every man of yours from My altar, [f]so that your eyes will fail from weeping and your soul grieve, and all the [g]increase of your house will die [h]in the prime of life. 34 And this will be (K)the sign to you which will come in regard to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: (L)on the same day both of them will die.
