1 Samuel 2:29-31
Legacy Standard Bible
29 Why do you (A)kick at My sacrifice and at My offering (B)which I have commanded in My (C)habitation, and (D)honor your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the [a]choicest of every offering of My people Israel?’ 30 Therefore Yahweh, the God of Israel, declares, ‘(E)I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father should walk before Me forever’; but now Yahweh declares, ‘Far be it from Me—for (F)those who honor Me I will honor, and those (G)who despise Me will be cursed. 31 Behold, (H)the days are coming, and I will break your [b]strength and the [c]strength of your father’s house so that there will not be an old man in your house.

1 Samuel 2:29-31
New International Version
29 Why do you[a] scorn my sacrifice and offering(A) that I prescribed for my dwelling?(B) Why do you honor your sons more than me by fattening yourselves on the choice parts of every offering made by my people Israel?’
30 “Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I promised that members of your family would minister before me forever.(C)’ But now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor,(D) but those who despise(E) me will be disdained.(F) 31 The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age,(G)
