1 Samuel 2:29-31

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁹ ‘Why have you kicked against My Sacrifice and My Offering which I Commanded in My Tabernacle, and honor your children above Me, to make yourselves fat from the firstfruits of all the Offerings of Israel My people?’

³⁰ “Therefore the LORD God of Israel says: ‘I said that your House, and the House of your father, should walk before Me, forever.’ But now, the LORD says: ‘It shall not be so. For those who honor Me, I will honor. And those who despise Me, shall be despised.

³¹ ‘Behold, the days come that I will cut off your arm, and the arm of your father’s House, so that there shall not be an old man in your House.
