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 honour me I will honour, 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; and 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; and 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.
35 I will raise up a faithful priest for myself, that will do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he will walk before my anointed forever.
36 It will happen, that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and will say, “Please put me into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.”’”
