1 Samuel 2:32-34
Good News Translation
32 You will be troubled and look with envy[a] on all the blessings I will give to the other people of Israel, but no one in your family will ever again live to old age. 33 Yet I will keep one of your descendants alive, and he will serve me as priest. But he[b] will become blind and lose all hope, and all your other descendants will die a violent death. 34 (A)When your two sons Hophni and Phinehas both die on the same day, this will show you that everything I have said will come true.
