1 Samuel 2:29-31
English Standard Version Anglicised
29 Why then do you (A)scorn[a] my sacrifices and my offerings that I commanded, and honour your sons above me by fattening yourselves on the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?’ 30 Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: (B)‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me for ever,’ (C)but now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honour me I will honour, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 31 Behold, (D)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.
