* And there came a man of God unto Eli , and said unto him , Thus saith the LORD , Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father , when they were in Egypt in Pharaohs house ? * And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest , to offer upon mine altar , to burn incense , to wear an ephod before me ? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire ofthe children of Israel Yisra #el #? * Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering , which I have commanded in my habitation ma #own #; and honourest thy sons above me , to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people ? * Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith , I said indeed that thy house , and the house of thy father , should walk before me for ever : but now the LORD saith , Be it far from me ; for them that honour me I will honour , and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed .
