1Samuel:2:27-36
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And a man of God came to Eli ,
and said to him ,
Thus says Yahweh ,
Did I reveal myself to the house of your father ,
when ,
in Egypt ,
they belonged to the house of Pharaoh ?
*
And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest ,
to go up to my altar ,
to burn incense ,
to wear an ephod before me ?
And did I give to the house of your father all the offerings of the sons of Israel made by fire ?
*
Why do you (
note :){+}(:
note )
kick at my sacrifice and at my offering ,
which I have commanded in [
my ]
habitation ,
and honor your sons above me ,
to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people ?
*
Therefore Yahweh ,
the God of Israel ,
says ,
I said indeed that your house ,
and the house of your father ,
should walk before me forever :
but now Yahweh says ,
Be it far from me ;
for those who honor me I will honor ,
and those who despise me will be lightly esteemed .
*
Look ,
the days are coming ,
that I will cut off your arm ,
and the arm of your father '
s house ,
that there will not be an old man in your house .
*
And you will see the affliction of [
my ]
habitation ,
in all the wealth which [
God ]
will give Israel ;
and there will not be an old man in your house forever .
*
And the man of yours , [
whom ]
I will not cut off from my altar , [
will be ]
to consume your eyes ,
and to grieve your heart ;
and all the increase of your house will die as men [
before they become old ].
*
And this will be the sign to you ,
that will come upon your two sons ,
on Hophni and Phinehas :
in one day they will die both of them .
*
And I will raise myself up a faithful priest ,
that will do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind :
and I will build him a sure house ;
and he will walk before my anointed forever .
*
And it will come to pass ,
that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread ,
and will say ,
Put me ,
I pray you ,
into one of the priests '
offices ,
that I may eat a morsel of bread .
