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 Pharaoh '
s house ?
*
And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my Priest ,
to offer vpon mine altar ,
and to burne incense ,
and to weare an Ephod before me ,
and I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the offrings made by fire of the children of Israel .
*
Wherefore (

Why have you contemned my sacrifices ,
and as it were trod them under foot ?(:

kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering ,
which I have commanded [
in my ]
habitation ;
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 , (

which [

shall give Israel :
and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever .

Neuerthelesse ,
I will not destroy euery one of thine fro mine altar ,
to make thine eyes to faile ,
and to make thine heart sorowfull :
and all ye multitude of thine house shall die when they be men .

And this shalbe a signe vnto thee ,
that shal come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehas :
in one day they shall die both .
