30 For this Jehovah the God of Israel said, Saying, I said, Thy house and the house of thy father shall go before me even forever: and now Jehovah said, Far be it for me; for them honoring me I will honor, and they despising me shall be contemned.

31 Behold, the days coming and I cut off thy seed and the seed of thy father's house from being old in thy house.

32 And thou lookedst upon the straits of the habitation in all which shall seem good with Israel; and an old man shall not be in thy house all the days.

33 And a man I will not cut off to thee from mine altar to finish thine eyes and to cause thy soul to pine away: and all the increase of thy house, the men, shall die.

34 And this the sign to thee which shall come to thy two sons to Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they two shall die.
