Prophecy Against Eli’s Household
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel,1 and how they lay with athe women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
23 So he said to them, “Why do you do such things? For I hear of your evil dealings from all the people.
24 No, my sons! For it is not a good report that I hear. You make the Lord’s people transgress.
