1 Samuel 2:30-34 ▼

30 “Therefore, this is the declaration of the LORD, the God of Israel: ‘Although I said your family and your ancestral house would walk before Me forever, the LORD now says, “No longer!” I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disgraced.

31 “ ‘Look, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your ancestral family, so that none in your family will reach old age.

32 You will see distress in the place of worship, in spite of all that is good in Israel, and no one in your family will ever again reach old age.

33 Any man from your family I do not cut off from My altar will bring grief and sadness to you. All your descendants will die violently.

34 This will be the sign that will come to you concerning your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: both of them will die on the same day.
