1 Samuel 2:16

And [if] any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, [Nay]; but thou shalt give [it me] now: and if not, I will take [it] by force.

And if any man {H376} said {H559} unto him, Let them not fail {H6999} to burn {H6999} the fat {H2459} presently {H3117}, and then take {H3947} as much as thy soul {H5315} desireth {H183}; then he would answer {H559} him, Nay; but thou shalt give {H5414} it me now: and if not, I will take {H3947} it by force {H2394}.

If the man answered, "First let the fat burn to smoke, then take as much as you want," he would say, "No, give it to me now, or I'll take it by force."

And if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”

And if the man said unto him, They will surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would say, Nay, but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
