1 Samuel 2:28-32
1 Samuel 2:28
Did I not choose them from all the tribes of Israel to be My priests, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, to carry an ephod before Me? And did I not give to the house of your father all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel?
1 Samuel 2:29
Why are you showing contempt for My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded for My dwelling, and why are you honoring your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?’
1 Samuel 2:30
Therefore the Lord God of Israel declares, ‘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 those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be insignificant.
1 Samuel 2:31
Behold, the days are coming when I will eliminate your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house.
1 Samuel 2:32
And you will look at the distress of My dwelling, in spite of all the good that I do for Israel; and there will never be an old man in your house.
