30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said, that thine house, and the house of thy father should walk before me forever: but now the Lord saith, [a]It shall not be so: for them that honor me, I will honor, and they that despise me, shall be despised.

31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine [b]arm, and the arm of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.

32 And thou [c]shalt see thine enemy in the habitation of the Lord in all things wherewith God shall bless Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thine house forever.
