1 Samuel 3:10-14 ▼

10 Later, the LORD came and stood there, calling out, |Samuel! Samuel!| as he had before. Samuel said, |Speak, because your servant is listening.|

11 |Look,| the LORD told Samuel. |I'm about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears it tingle.

12 I'll fulfill every promise that I've spoken concerning Eli's family, from beginning to end.

13 I've told him that I'm about to judge his family forever because of the iniquity that he knew about. His sons committed blasphemy and he did not rebuke them.

14 Therefore I've sworn concerning Eli's family that the iniquity of his family is not to be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.|
