1 Samuel 2:30-36
30 Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: a ‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever,’ b but now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 31 Behold c 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 Then d in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity that shall be bestowed on Israel, e and there shall not be an old man in your house forever. 33 The only one of you whom I shall not cut off from my altar shall be spared to weep his ▼

34 i And this that shall come upon your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, shall be the sign to you: both of them shall die j on the same day. 35 k And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. l And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before m my anointed forever. 36 And everyone who is left in your house shall come to implore him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread and shall say, “Please put me in one of the priests’ places, that I may eat a morsel of bread.”’”
