31 The days are coming soon when I will eliminate both your children[a] and the children of your father’s household. There won’t be an old person left in your family tree. 32 You’ll see trouble in my dwelling place, though all will go well for Israel.[b] But there will never be an old person in your family tree. 33 One of your descendants whom I don’t eliminate from serving at my altar will cry his[c] eyes out and be full of grief. Any descendants in your household will die by the sword.[d]
