1 Samuel 3:13-15
GOD’S WORD Translation
13 I told him that I would hand down a permanent judgment against his household because he knew about his sons’ sin—that they were cursing God [a]—but he didn’t try to stop them. 14 That is why I have taken an oath concerning Eli’s family line: No offering or sacrifice will ever ⌞be able to⌟ make peace for the sins that Eli’s family committed.”
15 Samuel remained in bed until morning. Then he opened the doors of the Lord’s house. But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision.
