And he said {H559}, What is the thing {H1697} that the LORD hath said {H1696} unto thee? I pray thee hide {H3582} it not from me: God {H430} do so {H6213} to thee, and more also {H3254}, if thou hide {H3582} any thing {H1697} from me of all the things {H1697} that he said {H1696} unto thee.

'Eli said, "What did he say to you? Please, don't hide it from me; may God do to you whatever he said and worse, if you hide from me anything he said to you."

“What was the message He gave you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God punish you, and ever so severely, if you hide from me anything He said to you.”

And he said, What is the thing thatJehovah hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things that he spake unto thee.
