9 Therefore, Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down, and it shall be if he calls thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord, for thy slave hears. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 And the Lord came and stood and called as at the other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy slave hears.
11 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of each one that hears it shall tingle.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli all the things which I have spoken concerning his house; when I begin, I will also make an end.
13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knows of (because his sons made themselves vile, and he did not restrain them).
14 And therefore, I have sworn unto the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be reconciled, not with sacrifices nor with presents for ever.
15 And Samuel lay until the morning and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
