I hear from all the people about these wicked deeds of yours.’ 24 ‘No, my sons; the report I hear spreading among the LORD’s people is not good.’ 25 ‘If a man sins against another man, God may mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who will intercede for him?’ But they would not listen to their father, for it was the LORD’s will to put them to death. 26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with people. 27 Now a man of God came to Eli and said to him, ‘This is what the LORD says: Did I not clearly reveal Myself to your ancestors’ family when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh?’ 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, and to wear an ephod in My presence? And I gave to your forefather’s family all the offerings made by fire from the Israelites. 29 Why do you scorn My sacrifice and offering that I commanded for My dwelling? Why do you honor your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves on the best of all the offerings of My people Israel? 30 Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: I certainly said that your house and your father’s house would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For those who honor Me I will honor, but those who despise Me will be disdained. 31 The days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your house. 32 You will see distress in My dwelling, despite all the good I do for Israel. Never will there be an old man in your family line. 33 Any man of yours that I do not cut off from My altar will only remain to weep his eyes out and to grieve his heart, and all your descendants will die in the prime of life. 34 And this will be the sign to you that will come upon your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day. 35 Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. I will build him a sure house, and he will walk before My anointed one forever. 36 Everyone left of your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread, and they will plead, ‘Please appoint me to some priestly office so I can have a morsel of bread to eat.’
