1 Samuel 3:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Then Heli called Samuel, and said: Samuel, my son. And he answered: Here am I.

¹⁷ And he asked him: What is the word that the Lord hath spoken to thee? I beseech thee hide it not from me. May God do so and so to thee, and add so and so, if thou hide from me one word of all that were said to thee.

¹⁸ So Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide them from him. And he answered: It is the Lord: let him do what is good in his sight.
