1 Samuel 2

²⁹ Why then do you kick at My sacrifice and offering that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’

³⁰ Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.

³¹ Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no one in it will reach old age.

³² You will see distress in My dwelling place. Despite all that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age.

³³ And every one of you that I do not cut off from My altar, I will cause your eyes to fail and your heart to grieve. All your descendants will die by the sword of men.
