9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, a‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
10 Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.”
11 Then the Lord said to Samuel: “Behold, I will do something in Israel aat which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
12 In that day I will perform against Eli aall that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.
13 aFor I have told him that I will bjudge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because chis sons made themselves vile, and he ddid not restrain them.
14 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house ashall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.”
