God Pronounces Judgment on Eli's House

11

The LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.

12

In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even to the end.

13

For I have told him that I will judge his house forever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons brought a curse on themselves, and he didn’t restrain them.

14

Therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be removed with sacrifice nor offering forever.”

15

Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the LORD’s house. Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.

16

Then Eli called Samuel, and said, “Samuel, my son!” He said, “Here I am.”

17

He said, “What is the thing that he has spoken to you? Please don’t hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that he spoke to you.”

18

Samuel told him every bit, and hid nothing from him. He said, “It is the LORD. Let him do what seems good to him.”
