menu_book Verse in Context

30 “Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I said indeed that your house and the house of your father should walk before me forever.’ But now the LORD says, ‘Far be it from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me will be cursed.

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

32 You will see the affliction of my habitation, in all the wealth which I will give Israel. There shall not be an old man in your house forever.

33 The man of yours whom I don’t cut off from my altar will consume your eyes and grieve your heart. All the increase of your house will die in the flower of their age.

34 This will be the sign to you that will come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they will both die.
